Stress
To want but not be wanted
To trust but not be trusted
To feel but not be felt
To lust but not be lusted
To speak but not be heard
To see but not be observed
To reach but not be touched
To deliver but not be served
To follow but never lead
To try but never succeed
To give but never receive
To hunger but never feed
To listen but never hear
To rap but never rhyme
To lose but never win
To seek but never find
To wake up missing everything
Not knowing where you lost it
The source of my greatest stress
And guess what, you caused it
“Stress”
