One more thing
I can handle that!  
I can help you!
One more thing
Added to the list
Added to the burdens
One more thing
Gleefully giving
Keeping nothing
One more thing
The stack gets higher
The weight gets heavier
One more thing
One more thing
Always just one more....
Until you stumble
Your grip shatters
Dropping your load
Upon the path before you
One more thing
Was one thing too many
And in the rubble
All you can do
Is pick up the pieces
Of the things that truly matter
A poem I wrote today when I realized I'd finally tried to do too much.

Late though this comment may be... it is here.
Huh, Y'know I can't tell if that's directed to a listener, or at the speaker himself. Probably doesn't make much difference, but it seems weird.
