snap

here comes 
breaking point
it comes closer
and closer
 
testing
your patience
testing 
your strength
 
you are 
prepared 
and determined
not to give in
 
you dig your feet
into the sand
firmly 
 
but when 
the wave hits you
your legs 
give way
 
they're no longer
under your control. 

when the waters recede
you find yourself

drenched, 
exhausted 
with salt and sand 
in your mouth 

you breathe
in relief 
it's over 
 
you don't see
the next wave 
coming

because who knew
that when you thought
you've recovered
 
you would break 
again
and again.
