Challenge
Challenge of the Week CLXIX
Stress. For some, it's an ally, a critical force of survival. For others, it's precisely the opposite. Write about stress, or a stressful situation. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
I cannot stress this enough
Every word a burden
I'm collapsing under my own weight
Every calorie a stick to be burned
Every insult another heavy task to fulfill
And my schedule is painfully busy
Trying to rip apart my planner
But the paper sews itself back up
With a rope tied in a noose
Every thought is to be written down
So I won't forget
My duty is to do
All the things I can't.
