I blew up today
Not an explosion
but more like a slow-burning fuse
with only so much left to give
I burned through thousands
and ate a lesson
I do not want to stomach
But there is emotional upheaval
and bitter regret
printed on the tape
Footprints I cannot escape
The chart watched me
like a mirror
as I shed a single tear
a man holding his own heartbeat
watching certainty
dissolve into the uncertain
And then I looked back
I saw the exact moment
I took the wrong turn
slipped
And became the monster that I am today
I was a broken rule
an oversized position
the tiny fracture
that widened beneath my feet
It felt like an out-of-body experience
as I watched myself
step into traffic
I screamed helplessly
but momentum
had already taken over
And I knew
it was too late
