"BREAKING POINT"
They request, they demand,
They enjoin, 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 getting 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
For the breaks to bind.
But it does make whole
A broken body and soul.
~~~
Sometimes you bend.
Sometimes you break.
~~~
Thus we learn,
Its okay to bend,
And breaking is tough,
But eventually we'll mend.

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!
