STRESS



An intense feeling of agony,
Like pain replacing the blood in my vein,
But i'm kinda alive, just sloppily,
And all i can pray for now, is a rain of grace,

Getting lost in my blues,
Unconsciously seeing red,
Don't know where to use green,
But need a bright side like yellow,

Wish could reflect the heat like color white,
But instead, i absorb them like color black,
I think i will just sit down for a while,
Review and check out why i slack,

Can't explain this feeling of anguish,
Just hoping and wishing i would just vanish,
Going to kill me first if i'm not careful,
Is this just another trick of the devil ?

Finding where i can alienate this feeling to,
But can't find, so i just alienate,
Don't know if i will see this through,
For now, i just need to hibernate,

Lost and confused, i can't think straight twice,
Too long asleep that it feels like death,
Just a hypnic jerk to realize i'm still alive,
And to realize it's all burn out from the stress.
