#CracksInLife

Life is a path with many stones,
each stone tells a story of struggle,
some are sharp, some are dull,
and they leave marks on our feet.

Days go by with heavy clouds,
dreams fade under the weight of time,
family and friends sometimes forget,
leaving us to carry our own burdens.

We smile in the morning,
but the night brings shadows of doubt,
cracks appear in our hearts,
where hopes once bloomed like flowers.

What is strong yet can be broken,
filled with memories but can feel empty,
a mirror that reflects our journey,
showing both the scars and the beauty?
