Past the Breaking Point
by Christel Crewsand they all thought she didn't have it in her
to work up the nerve and actually walk
she didn't have the courage
to look beyond the norm
she threatened
she complained
and they all listened
but knew deep down, she would never
guess they didn't know
she had a limit
a breaking point
and once passed it
even she wouldn't try to stop
the wheels from turning
and within the motion
she found peace
it just took getting to that point
where she couldn't
talk herself out of anything
and knew she was doing it for
herself
and not anyone else
