Stress Poem


My heart beats out of my chest.

Was it something I ate or drank?

No, nothing that could do this.

My caffeine was low and sugar intake normal.

It only seems to be getting worse.

What does it mean?

***

Is it a medical emergency?

Maybe God has finally come to claim my soul.

It feels like the end.

I do not want it to be the end.

I am not ready yet.

My chest feels tight but nothing else is happening.

***

I feel like I’m being dramatic.

But why am I crying?

I cannot focus either.

Thoughts thrown against a brick wall.

Going nowhere and everywhere at once.

Is that enough to be dramatic over?
