Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

A spiteful, deceiving freak.
Daring and dangerous—
Malicious even.

Its soul is a shallow pool—
Where even the greatest swimmers—
Drown.

But it’s not ugly—
Quite beautiful, actually.
Its face and smile seem kindhearted—
But that’s its way of pulling the—
Strings.

Reality will set in one day—
For it.
But, touch the glass in front of you.

Cold glass—cold heart.
