Shards of soul



Ever felt like a bottle?
shattered to pieces;
jagged edges that hurt like hell.
Only to people who got hurt by it,
one would think.
Did anyone ever think,
how it felt to be the glass?
Not knowing why, for getting broken
in the first place.

Beautifully written, thats why I say a lil bit of empathy can go a long way towards making everyone's life easier

I wrote this from a bottle's perspective...

Be it medicine or liquor,
I served mankind during their needy hour.
Not long ago was I fully filled,
I now stand empty and purpose fulfilled.
Here I am broken and down,
Anger and Agony making me drown.
I am lying on the ground without care,
Waiting for the sweeper to dispose me somewhere.
Alas my wait has turned futile,
And I end up hurting everyone with vile...
