Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Focus

I feel ready to explode
Compressed and about to lose control
Stressed over every little thing

Moments of sunfilled peacefulness
Outweighed by longer bouts of cloudiness
Feeling the stress
Of not having my life together

And I’m lonely
I need someone to care about
Someone to build a life with
Someone who won’t want
To disappoint me

That’s my real long-term goal
And if I kept that focus
I’d be fine
