Shattered

Shattered by a single thought, a single word…
Impossible!
It takes two words to create a sentence. Five sentences to create a paragraph. Four paragraphs to create a page. Many pages to create a book.
Yet, one word, one single thought, can shatter a person's soul.
Therefore, I monitor me speech, my thoughts, my ideas to protect everyone around me,
Never knowing if they are doing the same
Yet knowing at the same time they're not
So I try to justify why I'm not sinking to their level, but at the same time cursing them for bringing me low
Screaming, over and over and over and over!
Inside my head, wishing for a moment of peace from their hate, my hate, the world's hate!
Shattered.
My mind is shattered.
By a single thought
A single word.
Simply,
Shattered.
