I wrote this as a way to express the feeling and damage stress can cause!

The Cuckoo Clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Trapped, trampled, trained, and tired,
locked inside a house that's wired.
Holding, hiding, hearing, and hating,
all the anger that's creating!

Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Wary, worried, weary, and wondering,
is that my heart that's always thundering?
Sad, sorry, sick, and scared.
Am I ready? Am I prepared?

Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Insane, crazy, insane, crazy,
has my mind gotten so hazy?
Bored, bare, broke, and bad.
I'm just waiting. I'm just mad.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Cuckoo said the cuckoo clock.

Pretty wound up, Bonnie? I understand this feeling all too well. It's good to write it out of your system, it helps to keep that BP down.

(sigh) Such a haunting but wonderful poem, sweet friend, I too believe we all have these feelings every now and then and stress is an inevitable emotion we all must overcome every now and then! (kiss on cheek) You've expressed it so well, sweet friend, may all your worries be replaced with comfort and solace always! We all love you so so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bonnie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
