Stress is a deep, black, hole.

that is hard to free oneself from

a seemingly bottomless pit

cold and dark

deep and empty

filled with with jagged rocks

sharp as teeth

they rip and tear at hope.


Stress consumes people

Getting worse by the second

It can hurt people

It can drive them insane

It can kill them


It spreads like a disease from one person to the next

constricting like a snake

Leaving a sickening stench


Other times it just lingers

like a heavy weight

crushing those caught beneath it


It can hide itself well

It can be barely detectable

Lodging itself deep within the person's mind

Hiding behind their thoughts

Devouring the person from the inside like a parasite


You can try to get rid of it,

But the epidemic is growing

And you're already infected.
