Pressure:

Run
Keep on smiling
that
laid back flyboy grin
that
cocky Captain-Kirk type smirk

Tension
even in repose
trembling
like a
stretched out spring
ready to snap

Cracks
little fissures in the system
pressure
hundreds
upon millions
of gallons of water
crushing
oppressive
must stem the flow

Cry
alone
lock your door
tissues for the face
strained smile to the world
scream in your mind
never
let
them
see
your Fear

Escape
must run
move
can't stop
Pause for a moment
hit that wall
running

Crash
The spring snaps
flies across the room
Madness
can't take it
Breakdown

Fall
Hit the ground
Shatter
End
Nothing

Control is a fallacy
The only truth is in chaos.
