Stressed About Nothing

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
