The prompt for this week’s Saturday Centus is “Sometimes you bend. Sometimes you break.” Jenny, if it weren’t for your prompts, I guess I’d never write or post to this blog. Thanks so much for prompting and encouraging me to write.
BREAKING POINT
They request, they demand,
They ask, they command.
And I am confessing,
It can be depressing.
~~~
Sometimes you bend,
Sometimes you break.
~~~
A little bending’s not so bad,
It keeps others from being mad.
But when we bend until we break
In our hearts, we know we’re fake.
~~~
Sometimes you bend.
Sometimes you break.
~~~
It takes energy and time
To glue the pieces to bind.
But it’s the way to feel whole
In a broken body and soul.
~~~
Sometimes you bend.
Sometimes you break.
~~~
Thus we learn, its okay to sometimes bend,
And, though breaking is bad, it isn’t the end.

I have a big lump in my throat from reading this.
This poem expressed so poignantly how I feel.
I like the repetitive verse throughout, too.
It just kept leading me through.
Really well done!
