Breaking point #Microfiction

Everything!

Expectations anchor me;
Disappointments drag my soul
Through the eviscerating routine.
Life stands upon my neck
Twirling a lasso,

Like a sadistic, fanged hunter!

And I know this:

It’s only going to get worse
Before it gets better.

“I wouldn’t be too sure about that,” shivered the boy.
