Stress
So goes the beating of my heart.
It is not necessary.
Who cares about sleep?
My mind whorls, running on the wonderful substance known as adrenaline.
Some say I’m crazy, mad, or completely insane.
I do not care, for the work must be done.
Social life does not matter to them.
No excuses, just results.
The stress builds, all too soon now I will snap.
Does anyone care to join me?
