Glasses

Glasses fell on the floor.
'Ping pang!' they shattered into bits and pieces.

Now, Sammy tried picking them up one by one.
To straighten the mess he made.
He pricked his thumb and it started to bleed.

'You can't always fix everything' said his mom.
'At least I tried.' replied Sammy.
'But they are all broken.'
'Yea, but at least I tried.'
'You ended bleeding and hurting yourself.'
'Yea, but it's worth the try.'
'It's not worth hurting yourself, my son.'
'Mom, you can't forever protect me, and at least, I tried, and I learn a valuable lesson myself.'


A hurt to comprehend another hurt.

A broken person can only be fully understood by another who was once broken.
