Built to Break

No one is perfect

I am a sidewalk, see all my cracks?
I'm not always perfect, but we all know that.

Over time I get weary.
I start to lose shape.

People walk on me, and don't even think to save.
I am a sidewalk.
Nothing that you crave.
I am a nothing.
I was simply built to break.

Author's Note

I was walking the other day and I felt torn and I looked at the ground and realized that not many people think about the sidewalk that they're walking on.

Being able to see the world from the view of a sidewalk. Great personification. It takes some insight to do that!

the perspective you have is amazing

Very interesting. I love how you interpreted the meaning of an inanimate object into the feelings that we all feel at times. Very clever, I did like this one alot, nice write.
