Stress Amnesia

September 17, 2018

Drowsy, tired, and sleepless,

Lost in my own mind,

What did I do yesterday?

Scared, fearful, unchanging,

Lost in the halls,

What class is next?

Worried, stressed, procrastinating,

Lost in my own home,

What did I forget?

Was that last week or last month?

Where was I an hour ago?

Did I say that, or think it?

I could fix it all.
