I take it in one hand

Squeezing it with all my strength 

When will it crack?


I move it to my other hand

Maybe it’s stronger

When will it crack?


Focusing with all my might

Applying more and more pressure

When will it crack?


Sweat rolling down my body

Tears are forced out of my eyes

When will it crack?


I give my fingers a little break 

Relaxing them so I can try again 

When will it crack?


A slip of the fingers

SMACK

It cracked
