Woman knows she can see further
than cut glass confines
Staring at the sun to numb acceptance
of seeing, never reaching
where she most deserves

Woman fell through shattering glass
for you, not herself
You don't know why, I don't myself
The same sun failed to illuminate
the broken pieces

Woman wanting humbled silence
knowing no one that could humble her
in this building of ladders
pre concieved promotions
based on dexterity in lies.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

gem, I admire how you are intelligent enough to wade in the deep end without drowning, yet swim to the shallow part
and suffocate

Don't we all?
Beautiful writing
