Arms outstretched
Shoulders wide
Back braced
She prepared herself for the world she always wanted
Hoisted her values
accomplishments
integrity
like a knapsack
She lifted them out one by one
Trading them in for her heart's desires
Earthly pleasures
Piled on the fruits of her labor
Never minding the depleting foundation
Wondering why her world suddenly became
So hard to carry
Insisting on progress
No rest
Knees buckling
Arms trembling
She finally
Broke
