Analysis of Cracking
There’s a crack
Crack
Crack in my glass
It drips
Drips
Drips as I sip
Drown the past
Past
Past in my glass
As I slip
Slip
Slip through the cracks
Now I tap
Tap
Tap on my glass
Waiting for
the pain to pass
And they laugh
Laugh
Laugh as I crack
As I fade
Fade
Fade into black
Wake to shame
Shame
Shame it comes back
Quickly grasp
Grasp
Grasp for my glass
Now I’m trapped
Trapped
Trapped in the glass
