Breaking Point

I feel like I’m falling apart

Under the weight

Of this pressure to be more

Than I feel I can be

And the stress resulting

From admitting I failed.



All the strength I’ve gained

Through each obstacle

Is of no use because

My feet are giving way

And I’m slowly, gradually

Breaking at the seams.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: “in our lives, the breaking point is a sign of weakness and we'll do everything we can to avoid it.”
