Poem about what stress can do when used negatively.

Heavy breathing, difficulty thinking

Heart beats faster and faster

The world’s coming to an end

It’s all over, this is it?

Can’t look ahead, can’t look back

Can’t look to the left or the right, can only look down

Down, down, down is where I’m going

I can’t possibly escape.

After all, it’s improbable, it’s impossible

I won’t ever get past this one thing.

OH NO!

It’s here, it’s now

Ugh!

So angry, so scared, so hurt.

What’ll I do?

The feeling, I hate it.

The slow, self inflicted emotional, mental and physical poison

It spreads throughout everything and shuts it down

But, that’s only if you let it

    I LOVE this poem!!! Not only does this poem create the feeling of using negativity with stress; but, it also gave me the feeling and image of what might be the end of the world on God’s judgement day. This is a very intense and emotional poem! That makes kinda extraordinary in a way. Awesome job on this one!!! :)
