Shatter

How do I destroy this place, break it apart from me? Can it be as simple as letting it go, watch it drop and see it shatter? Should I attempt to pick up the pieces? If I did, I would throw them at the nearest wall and try to break them again.

Everything feels constrained. At least when you reach a plateau, any difference at all is enough. It is not enough to stay here. My demand to be released mocks me.
