home of the anxious and fragile

in houses of paper
and glass
that burn and shatter

reside the anxious
and fragile

misguided and selfish

living delusions of greatness
and grandeur
always ending in tatters
burned
broken and shattered

Greetings. Not all the anxious and fragile are misguided and selfish, living delusions of grandeur and greatness. I am guessing there must be persons probably topical that have peed you off. I know you don't do imagery but your short poem did give me that and it was sharp. Are you referring to anyone in the film or music industry? People with money living a lie?

Anyone who is professionally offended or "offended by proxy" or constantly "triggered" by the world around them or anyone who perpetuates "outrage culture" in general. I find their disposition to be based on superficial logic, fashionable group think, tyrannical/hypocritical standards of sensitivity and at ultimately their base - narcissism.
