Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

STRESSES

Standing on the threshold
Peering in wondering if I
Should fall into the pitted
Depths of a shattered defy

Purposeful stresses wring
Upon mine defenseless me
Creating havoc unto a soul
Striving hard to not let it be

Pressures surmounting high
Straining against headaches
Twinges occurring here or
There releasing more aches

Why must one continue to
Suffer in these measured,
Inconceivable stressors we
Are constantly badgered?

Throbbing of painfulness
Throughout mind, body ‘n’
Soul to a weakened spirit
Releasing gravity to give in
