the other side

finally you break.
everyone has a breaking point.
the line
in the sand has been swept
aside
so many times.
trust broken
with an endless stream
of lies.
there is only so much
a heart
and mind can take.
when dignity and respect
has eroded to the point
of insanity.
rage and anger take
it's place.
the monster in you arises
and takes
charge.
but then it fades and you
see the light.
the truth.
you wake up on the other
side at peace,
understanding who should
be in your life,
who you should keep.
