Break Even



Yes, I can bet you that we've all heard the song "Break Even" by the Script. And I can bet you again that we've all broken something - glass cups, porcelain dolls, plates, hearts - and sometimes you just can't fix it.

This is a poem that I wrote, in which this particular idea struck inspiration for me. I hope you enjoy it.



Today I bought a lovely jar
Wonderful colors in a mix
But I dropped the jar, somewhere far
There are some things that you can’t fix.

Today I got some fresh new eggs
Counted in total, there were six
Then I happened to drop them next
There are some things that you can’t fix.

Today I received wine glasses
From the sky fell several bricks
Wine glasses now different masses
There are some things that you can’t fix.

Today I brought a new snow globe
Down it went with several kicks
Shatters in gleaming light like strobes
There are some things that you can’t fix.
