When the rubber band snaps

[Anonymous]

When the rubber band snaps.

I am held together by a rubber band
A thin piece of sanity that is mine
It gets tighter and tighter
And one day it will snap.

Every time I am compared to others
Every time I have my flaws pointed out
Every time winds the rubber band tighter
And one day it will snap.

You say my problems aren’t that big
you say there are people worse off than me
You wind the rubber band tighter
And one day it will snap.

The day the rubber band snaps
The day I am finally pushed to my limits
It will be a glorious day for I will be free
I will finally be able to tell you that I am better, stronger, braver and more than you will ever know
But for now, the rubber band stays intact.
