I know when I’m stressed because my face starts getting numb.

I know when I’m stressed because I want to run.

Away…

I know when I’m stressed because I don’t have any energy to answer the phone.

I know when I’m stressed because I hardly want to write a simple poem.

Away…

I know when I’m stressed because I just stop caring.

I know when I’m stressed because I just feel like swearing.

Away…

He chased after the setting sun and it gladly fried him into a charred crisp of ash that the wind blew into the ocean and he was no longer stressed.
