My heart balances precariously on thin line
It ought to be cautious,
yet it can't help beating "thump thump"
It can't help feeling foolish
It can't help jumping up and down vigorously
Of course it fails and falls
Tiredness engulfs me,
an overwhelming black vacuum
that threatens(and does so) to
swallow me up

Energy sapped, Headache throbbing,
I sleep,
too weary to care

Kaile,

Tiredness engulfs me,
an overwhelming black vacuum
that threatens(and does so) to
swallow me up

I know this feeling, you have explored exhaustion and stress perfectly.

city where all roads
meet, waiting for you,To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank,
searching for you," Joy divison

Kaile,
  This poem is an excellent expression of fatigue, I hope it is a writing exercise and not an actual condition! Peace my friend!

When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance

Stress can certainly wear us down. You've described it perfectly.

Kaile,

This describes my state of mind this past week. I hope this week gets better. I'd like to have some time to be able to think..

This kinda fatigue... was this written during your NS dayz? Or last yr during your uni dayz? You must not work yourself too hard. Our body doesn't always function well under stress...
