Don't Break

I walked right on

The frozen pond

Never thinking of my sins

But then I felt the facts

Just like those spider cracks

Underfoot, in their icy skin

I don't break the lines

Though I'm on thin ice

I held my thoughts within

I'm melting with doubts

And time's run out

It's time to sink or swim

😌nice.

I like the imagery and underlying meaning, sins waying us down when we least want them to and even the cracking of the ice can be seen as a baptism or rebirth if you fall through.
