Shattered

It's all gone now
Broken into a thousand
Glittering pieces

The fairy food
No longer enchants
And the paper covering
No longer astounds

It's all shattered now
The glass house
In a glass world
All of it
The prize
The pleasures
The foundations
The things of decency and normality

They have all lost their gleam
The illusion is gone
And only worthless trinkets remain

Every stable thing is gone
A thousand feet below
The make-believe world
The true landscape is splayed out
Awesome and fierce
With heroes and monsters

It's all so terrifying
But what else is there to do
But to jump
It's all or nothing now
No
Not even that
How could I go back to that sham?
That time is past
Now it's just
All
