Shatter

By Sabrina Yang ’26

A perfect plan sketched inside her mind
Who to meet
Who to protect
Who to kill before they become a threat
Every route and every movement
Every world and every relationship
All clear to her
The future seer
The one who distrusts
 
Blood covered his hands as a body lay
Motionless to the eye
Cold to the touch
The smile creeping through his features
A job well done
A beautiful distraction masking his family’s escape
The cold-blooded
The one who protects
 
A shifting shadow taking shape
Hundreds of faces
Thousands of emotions
Uncountable identities hidden behind the curtain
Creative destruction
Tactical manipulation
One final reachable goal accomplished
Fearless when demanded a sacrifice
The one who controls
 
When God bows before them in fear
When the world prays for their success
When they question the heavenly principles
When the ground cracks and sky shatters
When they finally realize they were all
