Broken Glass

Shattered beneath my bloody feet,
 broken glass.. my own defeat.
Scattered across my narrow path,
 broken glass.. fuels my wrath.
Stalling me from my destination,
 broken glass.. adds to hesitation.
Staggering step after step in,
 broken glass.. it won't win.
Deterioration of my mental fear,
 broken glass.. will eventually clear.
Determination getting me through life,
 broken glass.. not my strife.
