Comment from Tim Margetts
This is so very true, Melissa.
Whether it be the need to leave a relationship which is no longer healthy, which I--as I am sure have most others--have experienced more often than I like. Or moving on to the next stage of life (Not experienced that yet.)
Thanks for sharing

Thank you Tim!!! Of course, this verse lends itself to relationships, but I also thought about being in a situation where you just need to leave because it is unsafe, toxic, or really boring. Anyway, just sayin'. :). Much appreciated.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Such wise words here and when this person does eventually leave, they wished they had done it sooner. I have had friends who have stayed in the hope of improvement and it never happened. Your few intuitive words are powerful here Mellisa, love Dolly x x x

Melissa,
Your poem holds true. A person can only put up with so much before the decide that enough is enough. Sometimes you just half to jump into the unknown.
Great job my friend

Comment from June Sargent
And at that point, leave. The longer you stay, the harder it will be to free yourself from the chains of fear. What you face ahead cannot be worse than what you're leaving behind.

Comment from judiverse
Yes, I can understand your thought in this. I think this could refer to an abusive relationship. Sometimes the woman may stay because of her fear of leaving. Then the abuse becomes too much, and she summons up the courage to leave. Women should not stay and allow themselves to be tortured. Excellent wording, and the picture is perfect for your poem. judi

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Tipping Point, states the unfortunate truth that when the home becomes less than that, the need to exit becomes more a necessity than a notion.

Comment from DonandVicki
What an amazing title and poem. As you said so well in your verse, sometimes pain outweighs the love that remains that has been worn down by abuse or neglect.

There's little else to add.
