~The Straw~
It's the straw that breaks the camels back
The lightest weight that makes us crack
It's the single word that cuts us deep
The nagging thought that keeps us from sleep
It's the butterflies that make us nervous
The people that make us cry on purpose
There is a balance to the good and bad
A logic to the happy and sad
People try and take the wheel
But they don't even understand what they feel
The little things, they do add up
The drops of water fill the cup
Others heap on burdens
While we just try to draw the curtains
It's not their place, or time, or right
To put our brightness into night
But they do it all the same
To the deaf, and crippled, and lame
You and I, we do it too
Just as much as others do
So please follow the unwritten law,
And never be someone's final straw.
