Analysis of World Made Of Glass
Everything is temporary, all is sure to pass.
This harsh world so fragile, as if made of glass.
A handful of sand and a bed made from grass,
Nothing material was ever made to last.
Hold tight to those you love as time is slipping fast.
Your future is ahead of you, the past is in the past.
What's here today is temporary, none are made to last.
So remember that you don't have an eternity,
Then make each moment last.

About this poem
I wrote this poem at a time in my life when I was in a bad place mentally, everything I didn't want to be and poetry was the fastest way I could see change physically and believe I could be a better person if I tried.
