                   Glass...
    Broken pieces scattered everywhere.
   I brace myself, knowing what I am about to go through.
   Each little sliver piercing through my skin,
   It hurts no matter what I try to do to stop it.
   I walk as slowly and carefully as I can, knowing there is no other way around.
   Tears stream down my face silently because I know screaming won't help.
   I am all alone, no one even trying to lend a hand.
   Here I am: blood, sweat, and tears staining my skin as I walk on these slivers of glass most commonly known as...
                   Life

Very nice.  Everyone finds in one time of their lif or the other, life will seem to come crashing down.  However, the wounds on the feet will heal, just as life does.  Things only get better from here.  Keep writing my friend!

Such a wonderful comparison.  Life is defined by pain and suffering.  

Enjoyed,
