Break, Broke, Broken

"I can't catch a break."

A phrase that just came to me. Or rather, broke over my head and caused me to have a breakdown.

I have already passed the point of going broke: legal fees, vet bills, mortgage I can't afford, upkeep on an old house, pay cuts, car repairs, income tax bill...I could keep going. The harder I try to break out of the constraints of living paycheck to paycheck, the harder the universe seems to push back.

I'm tempted to make a break for it. Abandon this life entirely and run away, although I'm not sure how much sanity and freedom that would buy me. I'd probably trip over my own feet and break my leg.
