A Pencil Snaps When It Is at Its Sharpest
Don't snap pencils.

If I gave you a pencil and told you to break it
would you?
Say you took this pencil and snapped it in half.
You would feel bad for breaking a perfectly good pencil.
You apologise to the pencil.
An apology doesn’t fix a broken pencil.
The pencil stays broken.
Kisses don’t heal a broken arm.
Love doesn’t mend a sorry soul.
Words don’t bandage a broken heart
And apologies don’t right a wrong.
Nothing is ever mended by an apology, especially not a pencil.
