a lot on my mind

how do we stop it all from getting to us
the worries that keep us up all night
the fear that I may just lose it lose it

work projects 1 2
kids 1 2 3
others others 

I'm swirling in a sea of sadness
spiraling out of control 
such hyperbole
but when we feel extreme feelings 
we need extreme words 

I need to breathe 
in and out
take that walk 
not take myself so seriously 

be strong for others and for myself 
don't lash out at the easiest target
nor on myself 

but the tension it gets too tight 
high strung 
ready to snap
is my everyday look

not outside but in 
outside I'm cool kitten 
tired is all they say I seem 
but I'm cracking inside 
and it may well show 

for now I joke and kid and fool around 
as I should
