I’m feeling stressed today
Not an overt, overwhelming stress
A much more subtle stress
An acute anxiety about nothing
As there’s nothing really going on
There isn’t anything to focus on
That would make sense to worry about
Yet, as I walk around
I find myself walking on edge
When I sit down to relax
I feel like I’m waiting for something
That I know will never come
& never does
Yet I still can’t remain still
Even when I don’t move
My mind continues to cycle
The same thoughts about nothing
Looking for anything that could be the source
Though every time I go to see
What my thoughts have produced
At best, all I see are vague distortions
Of possibilities of what it might be
& so I’m left exactly where I started
Stressed about nothing
