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?
