one too many. | poem

you thought it was all over

until it happened again

you lost your composure

it all went downhill then.

it’s hard to be in control

of something you’re afraid of

falling down a rabbit hole

but it was you who gave the shove.

this happened one too many times

and you were pretty exhausted

were you really responsible for the crimes

you committed but never wanted?

it was now hard to let go

of something you were forced to hold onto

you really needed to know

it was time to accept what you had gone through.
