Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Uptight

Why am I so wired
Wound up so tight
I think I might explode or crack
At the least little extra added pressure

It’s all way too much drama
Messiness and chaos for my liking
Enough is enough
I just can’t bear it

Don’t pile on any more
Everybody stop just relax
Take a breath
We can’t keep up this pace
Life isn’t supposed to be a race
