  2. My mind will not collapse. It is a steel trap. My goal is to be ninety-five and never have collapsed…or at least have no one know if I do. The thing is, we all collapse, all the time. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

  3. The first time I saw something collapse, it was when I was five. My first sandcastle got washed down by the waves. The second time was when I was playing uno stacko. It collapsed when it was my turn.

  6. Just when I thought you’d catch me,
    You let me fall,
    And left me there.

    Just when I was sure,
    You’d help me up,
    You smiled at me,
    And walked away.

    And it may sound weird,
    What I want to say,
    That I need to say,
    Thank you,
    For letting me get up on my own.

  12. thud.

    the sound of soft flesh hitting the ground.
    juice spills and flows freely as it hits the sharp edge of
    the jagged stone

    crimson.
    a plum.

  13. The walls are crumbling, they shake and rumble. Gutteral, their roars. I escape, no exit.

    Alfred
  14. I felt my walls give way around me. My flood gates open up. My brain fall to mush. The very construct of my existence collapsed as I heard him say the words “body” and “morgue.”

    Kim
  15. it feels like if i don’t make things better for everyone, I have the whole world fall in on me. I do so much for people, and I’m one that’s relied on, I feel like I can’t do enough sometimes… Even when things go well, the feelings I feel when i can’t make everything better is more than enough to hurt me.

    Jacob
  16. I can’t think
    The very wind is knocked out of me
    My knees are weak
    Standing is a feat within itself now
    My body shakes
    Nothing is there to catch me
    Collasped
    I lay there
    The ground cold against my skin
    Collasped
    Next to you
    We fought the battle and lost

  17. collapsed lungs. stat. reinforcements are brought in, and i’m watching from above, and i can’t do anything. and then the building goes, too, and we’re all on top of one another, pulling and shifting, trying to breathe, but it’s too late. there wasn’t enough time to save the one man, much less all of the crowd.

  18. Everything is collapsing. So many things can collapse. A building. A structure. Your life. Your heart. Your emotions. So little things can protect it from collapsing. Your lucky if your heart doesn’t collapse in your lifetime. Which i doubt that is possible. Collapse.

    Reynaldo
  19. She felt as if in that moment her heart would collapse under the weight of her own love, tumbling down unto itself, creating a single, infinitely dense point of admiration, and she would never love again. Fortunately, he took her hand and whispered in her ear, “I would never let that happen.”

  20. there is no point in living anymore you should just collapse your lungs and forget about this whole pointless thing called life. pathetic.

  21. “Collapsible?”, the man said, confusion spread across his face.

    “Yes,” the architect answered, “we designed the house to be collapsible so that in case of an earthquake we can simple reassemble it later, no damage done.”

    “But won’t that kill everyone inside!?” The man protested.

    “Well there are of course a few kinks to work out, but that’s for human resources to deal with” the architect added dryly.

  22. I’m falling to my knees. I’m looking up at the sky, and throwing my arms out to the sides. I’m very aware of how I’m trying to look; I’ve seen this pose on tv and in the movies, and in the midst of my anguish it’s very important that every nuance is correct.

  23. i collapse like a deck of cards. the weight of generations past has consumed my being and i am fallen…

    brian
  24. like a puppet with its strings cut; like an old building falling down; like hopes and dreams being dashed to pieces; she collapsed onto the floor, sobbing. she drew her legs up under her body, wrapped her arms around herself, lied there, huddled and shaking. she was nothing, an unloved toy, a pile of rubble, broken wishes…

    eli
  25. I felt my stomach clench at the thought of living my life this way forever. I felt myself collapse at the idea that I have nothing. I could collapse into anything else, coma, and be happier than I am right now. What are the dangers of coma collapsing on a spur of the moment kind of decision?

  26. the balcony collapsed. on the way down my life flashed before my eyes. i felt like i was falling the same speed as the snow. it was a slow descent yet the ground was speed towards me.

    Shane T.
  27. fall, break down, implode, give way, give in

  28. falling down isnt fun when things hurt it now and then you get a painful sensation or an amusing laugh out of the people around you. it is humiliating to you but to them its histerical especially if you fall on your head.

  29. Some might look upon it as a failure, but building the world’s tallest building, only to have it collapse in the first week, was secretly a startling success. As a life-long anarchist he’d studied architecture, schmoozed the big wigs, and sold himself into corporate slavery just for a chance to watch the magnificent power of humankind’s ingenuity go up in flames. In the rubble, he smiled more honestly than he had ever done before.

    Kevin
  30. falling off of a building watching the world go by. falling off the playground as a child. sky diving, always wanted to do that. my dad’s heart attack. he didn’t die which is good. hurt and fear. never want to do it.

  32. a spiral only drip dropping to its own pinnacle. the place where the suspended finally hit the ground

  33. The roof gave way and I knew that Grandma was right. I should have fixed it before the storm, but I had had better things to do. I wanted to paint and sand and polish. I had avoided the big task of fixing the roof because I knew it would be the hardest part of fixing up the old house.

    Kevin
  34. There’s something strange in the way those men float. Their arms stretch beyond the shores, beyond the hills, beyond the homes. Their hands, above the tower, blocking the sky for the released doves. I want to lick their fingers, savor the delight that is the wind with a touch of the sea.

  35. Collapse like the world around us? Resist the corruption and corrosion of the pillars we depend on. Stand up and learn to lean on yourself. Lean on your friends, Lean on your family, just don’t give up and collapse.

    John Topper
  36. he fell, collapsed. sinking slowly to the ground. it was as though his limbs had erroded and he could no longer hold himself up. he cried out but no one answered. he was too weak to do anything, let alone save himself. without meaning to, he had given up everything by way of collapsing. it was a simple gesture, but one that guaranteed his ending was to come soon.

  37. I fell onto my knees, I knew it was going to be bad – real bad.
    The color of the sunrise was bright neon yellow. It was supposed to be an earth like atmosphere but something had gone wrong and I had to sit in the damn suit for six years until I got picked up.

  38. It isn’t as if I knew what I was doing. It was bulky and awkward. And although I felt kin to the large tent occupying my space, it had to go. I pulled all the stakes. The fabric bubble deflated and I felt foolish.

    Yarn
  39. I felt my feet hit the ground first. My body folded in on itself like an accordion. Collapse. I couldn’t control it. My brain felt as though it had exploded into a million fiery particles that burst into all directions.

    Hilda
  40. sometimes the weight of responsibility is so great that I could simply collapse and other times….featherlike. i wonder what responsibility ate on those heavy days that weighs so much?
