It Collapses

My mind started racing thinking pacing all the things I could have done should have done but did not do all of it piled and piled up until

Run

ning

out

away

any

where

else

from 

here

and 

the 

breath

escapes

me

and

I'm 

left

gasp

ing

and

cry

ing.

I had forgotten that sensation.  Exasperation.  I lay

on the couch, on the floor, on my bed

for hours

Until now

After having finally done

what I said I would

at least one task

is complete

until tomorrow...

but I did one thing

so there is that

when I thought I couldn't do anything

there's one.
