Stress

We tire ourselves till we are at a breaking point.
Even then, we still work hard.
We push ourselves to put food on the table.
Even those who aren't able do so.
Adults should be counting sheep, but they sit in a seat.
Those free nights are now filled with worry.
To finish many tasks in a hurry.
Stress isn't healthy, but it feels like an addiction.
I always need it to stay alive.
