It's always somebody else or thing <br />That's to blame for all the stress you're suffering <br />You're not at fault; not one bit <br />But it's you who can't eat or sleep <br />For all the worry of it <br />You keep on making silly mistakes <br />And that only serves to make you worse <br />So you make even more blunders <br />An unretracted cat clawed circle <br />You feel dizzy and nauseated <br />To the point of wanting to throw up <br />And all you've got to hang on to <br />Before you go out of your mind <br />Is the straw for the drowning man to clutch <br />The forlorn hope that things will get better<br /><br />Marilyn Shepperson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stress-14/
