What is the condition of my heart?

My heart is paper. Thin, torn, crumpled tightly.

My heart is lead. Heavy in my chest, crushing me.

My heart is porcelain. A fragile, brittle shell.

My heart is sharp. Cutting my insides.

My heart is wood. Flammable, hollow, numb.

My heart is red. Hot, angry, and screaming.

My heart is fire. Burning, breaking to ash.

My heart is dust. Scattering into nothing. Gone.
