Gasp for Air

My world cracks, a fragile shell. The ground beneath me melts away. 

Each wall around me turns to dust. A bitter, deep, corroding rust.

Nothing stays, it slips and slides. 

My steady footing now evades. Familiar corners twist and bend. This chaos seems to never end.

I feel so easily replaced. My very purpose feels erased. 

Any other could stand in my place, without leaving the slightest trace.

I\'m breakable, like ancient glass. A whisper might just make me crash. 

One touch, 

I fear I will explode. Beneath this impossible, heavy load.

I mean absolutely nothing now. 

No one cares to wonder how. 

My voice is lost, a silent plea. 

Invisible for all to see.

Just a pawn on someone\'s board. My destiny, by others scored. 

I move where they decide I go. A puppet in a silent show.

This anxious tremor fills my soul. 

My crumbling world takes its toll. 

I\'m breaking down, unraveling fast. 

A shadow, not meant to last.
