Success

qwertygirl890123's picture

I have now successfully
made a horrible mess of my life
done things I never thought I would do
said things I swore I would never say
and seen things I never wanted to see
I don't think before I act
which is starting to be a bad thing
and when I don't think before I act
I do stupid things
and those stupid things start snowballing
and the snowball
grows
and grows
and I keep pushing it down the hill
and stopping it when I need a break
until I can't stop it from rolling down the hill anymore and it smashes into a brick wall
along with everything else
and then the snowball turns to rubber
and starts bouncing
and then everytime it hits the ground
another stupid choice
and another
until there are to many to count
to many to fend off
and then I will fall apart
into a billion shards of rubber and snow
