In 2003 I was going through a difficult time and wrote a poem about how stress grabs us when we least expect it. Stress has been a big part of my depression and anxiety disease. It's something I frequently feel even though I'm past the worst of it. Maybe some of you can relate to my poem if you also have mental health issues that you are dealing with on a daily basis.
Stress
Stress can hit you in the middle of the day
It can wake you when you're dreaming and take your breath away
It can grab you somewhere like the grocery store
It can sneak right up behind you and make you feel unsure.
Stress can wring from you every ounce of mental strength
It can squeeze your very will away, It goes to any length
Stress can twist your thoughts into an awful mess
It ropes you in against your will and steals your very best
It hits you, grabs you, wrings and twists you till you can't go on
It leaves you when you least expect it, then you're glad it's gone.
I had to let you know that your poem is put together well and it makes so much sense. I realy enjoyed reading it. I hope you will write more. Susan I wanted yuou to know that I stopped by before and read several of your articles like I always do and today I read only one but I will stop by as always and read more and I hope you will stop by my blogs again soon for I have missed your comments and of course we still have to reach our goals again. Smile I now have a long way to go again. But I shall get there with your help and you with mine. God bless and know I have also been having problems with my computer but I will be back soon. Hugs and thanks for sharing your beautiful poem with us. HUGS Lily
