Breaking Point Poem by Katie Anon

Everybody has a breaking point

Where it becomes too much to bear

They may shout, scream even hit

Cry hysterically, throw a fit

I am at that place now

But silently I weather the storm

I have tried altering my way of life

The way I cope with my internal strife

But these feelings are too painful

They are too strong to ignore

I have not the energy to try

I would like to just please say goodbye

The cause of my breaking point

Is not a situation or a person

But with myself and living each day

Carrying these feelings I cannot keep at bay

It is others that keep me here

And I try to be strong for them

They are the sparkles in the dark

I hope in them I can leave a mark

Not of sadness or regret

But of hope love a happiness

For they gave me strength to fight some more

And every happy memory I am grateful for
