It snapped again and went off much quicker than the earlier ones.
Did it surprise me this time? Yes, it did.
That it snapped did not surprise me but the way it did.

Tying a knot I did not realize that threads around me were weak
When it actually began, it was catastrophic, a chain reaction.
Thread after thread snapped, leaving few around in no time
yet I did not give up, for there were those in which I had faith
and yet it snapped and when it did I see patience wear out
as does the confidence on the threads around.

For once I realize, it was plain stupidity to tie a knot
where everything was and is beautiful without one
yet I see a struggle for the urge to resurface, for
what has ever remained constant about life was and is
hope, though unfounded and insane, yet it fuels life.
