In the Shadows of Stress

Being worried suddenly,
Afraid of anything,
But couldn't find the reason,
It becomes heavy.

Like a storm brewing in my chest,
Thunderous, wild, robbing me of rest.
Like being lost in the middle of a desert,
A weight like chains, dragging me lower.

This kind of stress feels like another universe,
I long to connect, but it's a bitter curse.
The more I try, the denser I become,
Irritation swirling, drowning in numb.

Crushing breaths and blurring sight,
A nameless dread, always in sight.
Choking softly, stealing the light,
In this vast emptiness, I search for light.
