Built to Break

Built to Break

A Poem by Shadow Spirit
"

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.

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.
