Tension

Stress and tension have their place in our lives and can be our biggest source of strength and drive. Yet balance is the key.

Tension
The strings we control in our lives

Tension

The beautiful melodies
Trill and chime
As long as
There is balance.

Our thoughts
Are the hands
Manipulating strings
Of the self.

When we're bound
Tight and stretched
Nothing but twangs
and threats of snapping.

Yet an idle mind,
Equally destructive
As the life strings
Fall apart silently.
