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

Very true, nevertheless, there are so many in such great hurry and never do they have time to "see". If only. Well done.
