When I am stressed I acquire invariably
Traits of attention-deficit-hyperactivity
I want to drown my anxieties in busy work
Indicating to the stress monster who by my side lurks
That I do not have the time to get caught
In the web he is spinning, there is a lot
For me to do without succumbing to my stress
This is my usual defense mechanism, I confess..
*
When I try to do too many things simultaneously
That too under stress, the results are far from pretty
I make a mess of most things, but eventually
Something seems to go right serendipitously
And that seems to have an effect to alleviate
My stress, bring me back to a saner state…

This verse has been penned during a period of stress
With multiple interruptions and an attention span that is less
Than ideal for writing, but of all the things I have done
To suppress my anxieties I think this is the best one!
Passion...unbridled
