My dear girl, You are a castle, built into wet sand. A beautiful structure cursed by unfortunate circumstance. If only you were born an hourglass instead; Then you'd feel purpose as your sand slipped away. But instead, your fragile foundation gets eaten day after day, with each and every passing of the ocean's hungry waves.

Sand Castle
My dear girl, You are a castle, built into wet sand. A beautiful structure cursed by unfortunate circumstance. If only you were born an hourglass instead; Then you'd feel purpose as your sand slipped away. But instead, your fragile foundation gets eaten day after day, with each and every passing of the ocean's hungry waves.
