The Straw For the Camel

Sharp angles of decisions hang above my head Fists of worry crush my skull The blank cold of night smothers my soul My heartbeat races to a frantic tune I sleep half awake, I'm awake half asleep I never thought I'd face this wall! My mind and body seem to be breaking. I didn't see it coming! My mind tries to overhaul my body's shortcomings! The option of options calls my name Pressure relentless distorts my frame How did it come to this? When will this hell desist?
