I broke a glass cup.
It shattered in my feet,
I stared as it fell, for
It didn’t cut deep.
I wanted water,
Just a cup of water
I was very busy
being the eldest daughter,
I ignored feeling dizzy
And kept cleaning.
I didn’t mean to, but I broke you.
You can’t serve water any longer
With a plastic cup I wonder:
Did I crack first—
Or did I become my mother?

It’s not really about a cup. It’s about the glass that was once a cup. When I don’t pay attention to myself, I end up like that. Take care of yourself, and do what you really want ✨✨
