Ruins

I could never ruin anything. 
With my writing-
There are loose letters, dangling from the ceiling.

I could never stop writing. 
Just like-
That sink can’t stop dripping. 
Drip, drop. 
No plumber is coming to save the day.

I could never count to 1000. 
I could never ice skate perfectly. 
I could never figure out why…

There is nothing else in this world.
Except-
Beautiful windchimes, but it’s winter and they were all brought in. 
It’s beautiful and weird. 

I could never ruin anything. 
Then I turned 25.
And my brain said to me,
“Good luck.”
