haha well it's something i came up with. "sometimes it takes the fall to realize the top ain't much better."

you can see in,
and your reflection.
while i slowly form,
become a jarred
piece of glass;
a starving
used bit,
rejected by the
sell outs.
needing someone to
help cradle,
protect, keep me
safe.
just a moment
to breathe
and not be dropped.
