Stressed Out

The feelings come

From roots so deep

The déjà vu

The slow repeat

Of thoughts so strong

They immobilize

Blur the vision

And paralyze

All actions, joy

And zest for life

Swirls of panic

Cut like a knife

Need to breathe

And think again

Calm the heart

Observe it when

The dark clouds stir

The tempests rage

As you struggle in vain

To turn the page

Observe the emotions

Do not judge

And from unconscious

Realms you’ll nudge

The thoughts that

Got you to this point -

All stressed out

And out of joint
