#chuckled
I said I was walking on glass You took me seriously And asked me to stop You told me to think Of other ways to deal With the crisis at home And the pain I feel I said it was figurative What are you talking about I chuckled to myself Because I'd actually do that But I'm fine Just not at home 'Cause I'm walking on glass But not literally Figuratively

Figuratively
The iron drips from my fingers. The man gives out a yell. The child launches, she launches at me. Sadly her launch had failed. I chuckled at her, with no pity. Her frightened face, what a laugh. The person she’s crying for isn't worth dying for. After all, he was a bad man. It’s funny, so funny, funny the fact. The fact, she thought if she grabbed my neck then, maybe, just maybe, maybe I’d die. I laughed again and finally, I gave out a sigh. “Poor child,” I said my voice left unchanged. “You misunderstood. I shouldn't be ashamed. Your idol has done so many bad things, now he’ll pay for his sins of adultery, in a place which this blind man cannot see. She fell to the ground befalling her tears. This was the end of her happy years. What? Did she think it was a fairy tale life? Reality is sharp, just like a knife. I laughed at the fact I took his life, with just one swing of my most dull scythe.
