Shatter

It's scary to think that you can hold another person's life in your hands or at your fingertips rather. With one sentence you could end it. With one paragraph you could save it.


It's scary how we put our lives in the hands of others. With one sentence they could end it. With one paragraph they could save it.


But the scariest part to me is when they drop us. We shatter into a million pieces. Have pity on the poor soul left to pick them all up for us. 

 


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was talking to someone I'm counseling with depression and I had this thought. It's utterly terrifying to me to think that I'm what's keeping her alive. If I say something wrong she could easily break and it would be all my fault. Then I realized that I put my life in the hands of others too and I am terrified of the control they have of it.
