I think it's a cool idea but don't think I'm doing it justice. Maybe someone has a different perspective on the first verse or the idea in general. Here's a link for those who don't know what a Prince Rupert's Drop is.
Dropped, form unplanned.
Rapidly cooled by water.
Glass shell coated and
Molten core hotter.
Shards of ice,
Molecular come to bind.
Stress, tension, no release
Are trapped inside.
Weakened glass,
Spindle tail,
Stretching out of water.
Hammer smash,
Drop prevail,
Fragile tail shatter.

Born, left untended.
Raised by self alone.
Alone friendless, mind unmended,
Feel unsafe at home.
Incarcerated crystal,
Compulsive obsession.
Hands clenched in fistfuls,
A hate-filled depression.
A pretend man
With one pitfall.
Pull myself together.
I can not stand,
For I am flawed,
And now am shards forever.
