the breakdown of a breakdown
it starts with a thought
just a simple notion
then you can't let it go--
and this is the part where it all falls apart
your mind becomes wrapped
warped with this idea
twisting and turning it
until it consumes you
that initial lump forms
you try to swallow
it chokes you up--
and this is the part where it all falls apart
trying not to blink
letting everything blur
gripping your sides
holding back the heaves
that first tear falls
followed by more
the Breakdown has awakened--
and this is the part where it all falls apart
caught up in the moment
everything else disappears
consumed by that thought
this is your reality
searching for reassurance
there has to be some sense of light
frantically finding nothing--
and this is the part where it all falls apart
vulnerable and alone
embarrassed to have reached
such a weak state
this cannot be you
this lasts a brief period
the tears run dry
the body's worn down--
yes, this is what happens when it all falls apart
deep breath
its broken and uneven
wipe off your face
and compose yourself
some relief appears
having let out the Breakdown
its gone for now--
that is--the part where it all falls apart
