Poetry

Trying

Not to jump out of my skin

As everything starts to fall into place.

But the stress still builds up

And the feeling of being overwhelmed is slamming into me over and over again.

But somehow I’m standing tall and strong and moving on.

Even though all I want to do is run or curl up and sleep.

And hope when I wake things will be calm again.
