Oh Mother perspiration muscles tense bring it all in to the ground resistance fight the senses keep control as the energy slowly escapes from the pores of your body anxiety frustration you can’t run away you can’t escape the pressure the conflict breath quickening heart beating faster and faster shake and shiver the trauma too great the exhaustion you can’t give in but you must so you collapse at the stress and let the shovels throw the dirt over your head Copyright Janet Kuypers.
