Every day I can hear you Approaching

I know I can never prepare myself.

I keep Hoping and Hoping- 

That all my worries will be put on the shelf.


I can sense my Stress beginning to pile on,

And I pray that it will soon all be gone.

I will always feel the soft Touch-

Of my best friend, Thinking Too Much. 


He somehow finds a way to stick around

Ruining all Relaxation in my life. 

Always filling my mind with loud sounds-

And bringing his sweet companion Strife.

Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" inspired me to write this piece.
