Any 3 weeks

by Pistol Pete - Capricorn

Any three weeks

Pressure seems to be all I feel
Do this, remember this, show me what you know
I hate this 
I tell myself it will all be fine
Why does it seem so permanent 

I can see the sun over the bridge
But I can’t get this cloud off my back
It pushes me and silently threatens 
Its taunts are empty
But fool me for the time being

I wait silently 
I wait with a million voices
Each one telling me I can’t do it
But my voice tells me to look up at the sun
It seems so far from me

It will hit me, I know, one day
I will be content and not remember any rainy days
The cloud is always there even if I don’t see it
Waiting to consume me  

Reason for writing:

    A simple vision of stress
