Analysis of Snapped

Laurie 1962 (Elmhurst)



Snapped!
Done.
Finished.
Lost it.
Nothing left.
Snapped!

Nothing to lose.
Don't care anymore.
Everything is dead.
Sunk in deep.
Snapped!

Dead inside
Spur of the moment.
All dark thoughts.
Lost my heart.
Snapped!

Lost my mind.
Cause of my pain.
Hold on tight.
I am losing my shit.
Snapped! Taking you out.

Taking you down.
You are going out hard.
Leaving them all behind.
Snapped!

Will anyone be surprised?

Now it is time.
Deed is done.
Heat of the moment.
Blood on my hands.
Snapped!

Do I take my life?
Do I go to jail?
WTF do I do now?
I am screwed.
Snapped!

Life is tough.
Life is hard.
Life is given.
Life is gone.
Snapped!

The final call has come.
Now my time is done.
Payment is due.
Death is calling.
All because I Snapped!
