I look around me
Crowds of people fly by
As I wander the streets aimlessly
I find my way back to the apartment

I just came back from the corner store
The cashier asked how life was
I told her it was just like every other day
She didn't know what every other day was like

As I walk through the front door of my apartment
I can hear the kids next door laughing and playing
Sometimes I wish I could be a carefree kid
Too bad those times have passed

I sit down in my old leather chair
It smells of *****
I get up and look down
The neighbors cat had got in

I get up and walk to the bathroom
I look in the mirror
I thought I would see me
All I saw was a twisted and distorted image

Impulsively I punch the mirror
It breaks and shards of glass stick into my hand
I don't even notice the pain
I don't even notice the blood

I run to the kitchen
I find anything I can and I break them
Plates and bowls
Pots and pans

I fall to the ground
Breaking into tears
Just like the plates
I am broken

I go to the bag of rope I bought at the corner store
I find a good place to hang it
Where no one will ever find me
The closet will suffice

I get onto a chair
I hang the rope
The chair falls down
The curtain falls

End scene

Some say it happens when we lose control
Some say it happens when the government collapses
I say it happens when we lose our
Values
Morals
