stress

Do not shout or i will break
In little pieces on the floor
Peace for my own hearts sake
Or let me be no more

I can feel the tembling
Running across my brow
Let me cease dissembling
Destroy me now!

My hands shake
Could I but sleep
For ever and ever awake
O, let me sleep !

Let me cease to be
Give me peace
Let my eyes no longer see
Give me peace

Arthur

Arthur, most of us can recall points in our lives when we felt this deep type of overwhelming depression.  But you have expressed it so well with your heart wrenching words.  You had to dig deep into your soul for this one my friend.  Excellent write!
