Sandcastle

Jessea L. VaughanContemplative

Living in a sand castle Guess it's your choice Guess it's your life But what you gonna do Next time the wind blows Or it rains And the whole thing crumbles Falls apart Will you live in an igloo until You get too cold and Melt it by mistake Trying to keep yourself warm A house of mirrors It may look pretty but What you gonna do When a tornado comes Or some drunk guy Starts throwing stones And the whole thing breaks Shatters into a million pieces Especially if that someone is you? Like a sandcastle Or an igloo Or that glass house That house of cards You built for yourself Will come crashing down Someday..
