So many words for broken

Fragmented, shattered, snapped, destroyed. The things all these words have in common, they're synonyms for broken. I'm fragmented, shattered, I snapped and destroyed everything that once was mine. One cruel lesson I was tought at the age of 4 was, don't to depend too much on other people because even your shadow leaves you when lights go out. The saddest thing about being so sad is that you don't remember what makes you happy anymore.

The story of a boy suffering. A boy afraid of the darkness that the God his parents worshipped, cast over him. Anxiety, the constant losing himself in his fear.
