Dec 2019
They started off with with small taps
But then they came with giant axes
Chipping away at the foundation of sanity
Nothing seemed to be able to fix it.

I worked and worked to keep it stable
But nobody believed it was possible
The more I worked the more it cracked
As they went from manual to explosive means

Sticks of dynamite crammed into the cracks
As they said it was my fault I lack
They laughed as I began to fall
My hopes and dreams started to be shredded

As the foundation of sanity splintered
The shrapnel became scattered
As it cut up my mind
I lost all hope in mankind

Then nothing but despair remained
I began to turn and frayed
I hurt my sled and others
As anger filled my mind

The glass that was now my mind
Guided me to shred others and leave them behind
As my resentment turned others
Into the same mess as me
