On The Fast Lane

My life feels

like it's on the 

fast lane,

always pressured

to go,

to not stop and

catch my breath

as I try

to stop the

work from 

overwhelming me.

Assignments fly

past and 

tests are marked,

as I try to juggle

my school

and outside life,

one ball dropped and

my world will just 

collapse.

Stress has become 

so familiar

that I hardly remember 

what it's like

without it,

and maybe I just

need to shift gears

and 

slow

down.

I hate this time of year. Little hints of the end of the school year come and go, my dance showing is in a couple of weeks, the homework pile is just getting larger, I still have my physiotherapy and neurotherapy I have to do every day, I'm trying to write a story, and the rainy weather outside just does not help my mood. I'm tired, I'm stressed, and maybe I just need to get out of the fast lane for awhile.
