The contents spill out on the page,
a stain infused by all we are.
Unchecked, our raw emotions rage,
but, here we only go so far.

Self preservation dictates this,
we're fore-most always on our guard.
Society puts emphasis
on learning how to play your cards.

And, this is good, yet, creates stress
which often makes containers leak.
Arranged into a "tidy" mess
quite thinly veiled, for, so to speak

are labels on such things bestowed,
marked, "under pressure, may explode"!

Well doc, you just wrote the first diagnosis of me that makes sense.



Y'made me smile, and THAT is the best medicine I've had all month.

thank you
