Life is like a box of chocolates; You never know what you are gonna get.

Shattered glass, the pieces are scattered
You step on them, no socks, no shoes
Then you hear the gentle crackling underneath
Scarlet river flows on the ground
Surrounding your feet, rising to your limbs
Where did it come from?
A voice says, “Not from thy feet, but from the glass.”
