Stressed - Poetry - Lakeside Park

Stressed

i want to leave this place
it feels like i'm being crushed
	you can't scream if your heart's stopped
all day, two days
and the project refuses to work
but today it has to
i have no presentation
	snapping the neck is efficient
i have no data
i have no life
i want to leave
	slit them vertically all the way to the elbow
i want to leave
because i'm getting kind of psycho from it
	they can't hurt if they're cut off
(she loves me. i must stay.)
and i have no data
	taste cold steel with a hint of gunpowder
	isn't that just so seductive? we have ammo
and i have no life, i'm just a nerd
	falling would be nice, one last
	adrenalin surge on the way out
but i'm in love
oh, let its sweetness drown me
and wash away the world's cares

And I thought I was stressed when I wrote caged. Yeesh...
