Each and every little thing,

the box on the floor

the broken door

the five minutes left to get to work

all working in union to form a plug in the pipe,

of your sanity.

that creaking pipe

that blinding light 

that pile of clothes you need to dump

all building up until the pressure's too much,

to cope with.

the fragile line that tethers you to calm

has snapped.

silently crying

in a corner all alone.

the unhinged monster you have become rampages

unstoppable, uncontrollable, unimaginably cruel.

It doesn't stop,  It can't stop

It has been consumed by the stress

I caused you

there is no turning back.
