Can't Slow Down
By hazel basil
chaos swirls around me
pressure builds
silence kills
what was good is bad
what was bad is good
what was fun is stressful
and what was stressful is now more so
the calm life I used to lead
now erupts in business
I have no time to sleep
I'm running on low
I skip dinner most days
too little time
too much to do
I feel the stress screaming
I close my eyes
hoping for rest
but rest ends too soon
can't slow down
the momentum is too much
can't slow down
