Stressed.

Pressure builds 

Reality fades

Brain clogged up 

Nothing left to gain 

.

A continuous flow

Of subliminal messages

Never enough 

Living up to external images

.

Taking on more than what is

Frantic

Exhausted

The future takes hold

Controlled 

Haunted 

.

Expectations win

Reality takes a seat

No time to think 

Heart skips a beat

.

But when you bring it back

And realise you can’t do it all

All you have to do 

Is let go, 

Or fall 

.

Fall into each moment

Allow thoughts to pass

All you have is now.

Be patient,

Don’t go too fast.
