NOWADAYS BROKEN

you know when people break in movies

books and stories?

How you know because they turned into villains

or to depressed to do anything, a fact that stands.

So, what about the people that aren't allowed to break?

Who have to stay whole because to much is at stake?

the people that no matter what smile

and never cry, not even every once in a while

the people who hold together like a thrown glass

refusing to break no matter what they pass

you can throw it from a hundred feet up

but its just a stubborn glass cup

What happens when they break?

when they lose everything at stake

the thing is, they don't

they just won't

Some cracks will be visible

but nothing that can't be hidden by an angle

the feeling of wanting to do the hunting

but not the killing

leaning on the edge, the precipice

something you can't practice.

Something that has to come naturally

and they keep a smile, never break against everything miraculously

because they can't. They're the tittle.
