BOILING POINT



I lye
And wait
In time
I drift
I and out
Of my own
Conciseness
Unaware
Of
What time
Will
Bring
It has been
Said
Throughout time
If it does not
Kill you
It will only
Make you
Stronger
But
How much
Can one
Man or woman
Take
Before
The pressure
Of life
Step’s in
And boils
You over
To your
 Breaking point
It gets you
Right to
That point
That moment
And drives you
Down a
Narrow road
And
It continues
To just
Pound on you
And it
Continues
To drop pressure
But the question
Is will
You break
