Food For Thought

Self esteem is like glass
 
One tap or slight disturbance
 
It shatters into amillion pieces
 
Never the same again
 
It can be “fixed”
 
but not all the pieces will fit correctly
 
Warped and distorted
 
Fragile and at it’s best
 
Something else entirely
 
Thicker in some areas
 
Thin as a sheet of paper in others
