have you ever played
break the ice?
you have your little green hammer
tap tap
against those sweet plastic
hollow
squares
tap tap tap
such a solid form
until just one block is
tapped out
what happens then?
they all become loose
one by one
they fall out.

that's what my life feels like right now
one thing after another
loosening the rest of my world
waiting for one more thing
to go wrong

i'm all alone
in the middle
of all this
plastic
ice

where do i go from here?
how do i begin to put my ice block back together?
because i honestly have no idea
where to start
or how to begin.

but i better figure it out
because life is moving
a trillion miles an hour
and it
doesn't wait for
anyone

and i can't afford to be
 left behind. 
never again.
