Stress

If I could personify

Such a thing as Stress

I would call it dark

Or maybe even Bright

As to blinding it victims

from all that is not it

If I could personify

Such a thing as Stress

It would only be heavy

And never Light

I could call it a liquid

As it drowns everything else out

If I could personify

Such a thing as Stress

For a choice of shape

Liquid would be the state

Because all liquid molds to its holder

But still even that state does not equate

If I could personify

Such a thing as Stress

Liquid would not be right

Because put it under heat

And suddenly the glass that held it

Stands entirely empty

If Anyone could personify 

Such a thing as Stress

I would think it already done

By the more skillful

Or perhaps more visual

Than I

Overall Stress can be seen

And it can be heard

Still Stress is only a name

for a multitude of things

But mostly the side effect

Of the great of the Great things to come
