Glass Jar
I don't want to be a glass jar
A fragile container
A hard exterior
One mistake breaks it all
And to tread lightly for the rest of my life is something to abhor
And if I am glass
I am guarded
Such a harsh brittle existence
Is not one to claim
And if I am a jar
I can only hold so much
I’ll have no room for what I will cherish
That would sit long in the dust
