Shatter

Something has been gnawing away
Inside of me these days
Hopeless, pathetic, agony
Suppressed them so I thought
Caught in this self made tragedy

Born from a single spark
A glimmer of hope for something more
A glimpse of greed is all it needed
The rot of turmoil deeply seeded
Sprouted into flowers of despair

Then came forth the rain of doubt
Quenching the thirst of my gullible heart
As salt water does to a thirsty sailor
My house of cards collapsed; a failure
I always thought myself a feeble man
Though this is on a level I cannot understand

I may have believed in destiny
I believed it would have more in store for me
It seems as though no matter the choices after
Without a solid foundation
It all comes down to shatter
