Self Destruction

What does one do when trying to stand guard against the world?

Holding a grenade...the pin long since pulled

I can only hold the trigger for so long before I grow tired

And now I am scared...almost petrified of what I might do

And growing more and more shaky and weak

for when it falls...it will fall too close...

and destroy us both
