In times of stressful situations
Never does these seem to be
Ends to the opportunities to do
Everything grows in importance
Dauntingly the tasks loom
Ambivalence takes hold
Sometimes I know what should be done
Most often I cannot move
A dull throbbing in my head
Louder and louder it groans
Lamenting my failures inside its echos
Sensibly I should pick anything
Using a simple task to overcome
Crushing the overwhelmed feeling
Caressing the wounded mind
Energizing the self to do more
Small success brings greater success
Success brings satisfaction
