Walking On Eggshells
Walking On Eggshells I’m not putting up with this s### Always offended Always the one in the workforce Always playing the victim Troublemaker Just downright stubborn Treading on water Walking on eggshells Anything to set them off Push them over the edge Your fired Looking for the negative attention Feed their insecurities Probably in their 40’s...

You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart, where words flow freely like a mountain river, carrying truth and simplicity within them, without needing to bend your soul into unfamiliar shapes just to protect egos, and your inner peace to be an inviolable sanctuary, a place where your true self...

Eggshells
Eggshells were full of promise, Then eggshells splitting, Arriving chicks Abandon shells. All wet and limp They sleep until The yellow fluff of life excites. Then cheep cheep cheeping and peep peep peeping, Peck pecking at seeds, And growing, growing, When, as hens, They start those promises again. ...

I've written this for a dear friend who is struggling with someone who is unkind and disrespectful. But I think there are many of us who have experienced this kind of situation from people who claim to be our friends. Please let's all try to be present and mindful of our behaviour. The words we...

Tip toeing on eggshells with a shut lip. Crack, I heard. At my back I got a smack. By daft accident I step on one. Why? For spitefulness, I screamed and slammed the door. 10/4/2022 just for funny I live alone :)...

Broken
I do not walk on eggshells but on broken glass sharp shards slicing into the soles of my feet Yet I will continue my trek forward for it will hurt no less to stand still I will continue to call out the single syllable of your name into the dreary darkness though my throat grows dry and my voice weak and weary for it will hurt...

Walking On Eggshells
Walking on eggshells, with left-over scratches, Brave little chick into the world hatches... managed to scramble away with a limp-- those eggshells, (and mama) did a number on Shrimp. Fifty years after, mama's still kicking, pecking Shrimp's feathers off, when no one's looking-- Some of her feathers are plucked to the bone- her skin is bleeding, she feels so alone. Mama, she swore that ol' Shrimp was an odd...

for some reason around your fortress you’ve built insurmountable blockades and from their safety you thrive on lashing out catapulting showers of fireballs and cannonballs it took a while for me to realize we were at war I simply didn’t know in hindsight it’s been going on for years but I really truly didn’t know I knew enough to keep my distance and stay out of the firing...

Always walking on eggshells tip toeing around landmines; Avoid being blown apart the cracks weave into a web; Desperate to make it through a tricky dance with macabre; Your thoughts suddenly explode....

Mom woke up early to bake the pie. The special occasion pie. Her daughter’s favorite. She rolled out the chilled dough with the old rolling pin and crimped the edges just so. She danced with anticipation as the custard bubbled to its chocolatey glory. When all was done, there were eggshells...

Walking On Eggshells
Until recently I've lived my life with eggshells under my feet A specter in my mirror latched onto my shoulder Weighing me down so that i cannot fly My wings are broken, tethered to my spine But I slowly shake off the shackles of sin The weight of normality sucks me into a whirlpool of repetition, Easing me into the lifestyle...

Dancing On Eggshells
Dancing on eggshells Pursuing my groove Correcting my posture In hopes to improve My tip toes are bare In our home built of glass I take each, ginger step With fear induced class I strive for perfection I land below par My rhythm needs work Steps, too far apart I try to refrain And not tap my feet I tame my excitement I tune out the beat I relax...

Eggshells
My feet crush the eggshells Scattered all over the floor, A mistake I always seem to make As soon as I come in the door. Panic rises in my chest As I hear the screaming begin, Here she comes ready to fight I don’t want to do this again. I stand there and watch her Become someone else, The mom I know is nowhere to...

Eggshells
From a mouthful of this morning’s eggs, I pull bits of char from yesterday’s breakfast. ‘I had no chance to scrub the pan’, I plea with myself- But I still smash it over my skull like a cartoon. Every morning I wake up feeling last night’s feelings, thinking last night’s thoughts, about what’s happening 10 years ago, and what happened tomorrow. If you...
