Overwhelmed, you bet I am as
I put the salt in the refrigerator,
And brushed my teeth with hand lotion.
Overwhelmed, oh yes thats me as
I backed the car out and hit a tree,
knocked over the trash cans, all three.
Overwhelmed, oh boy is that right as
I headed South when I should of gone North,
I saw a red light and just stopped short.
Overwhelmed, yes I am,
I reheated my coffee two times now,
I forgot to drink it and now its cold.
Overwhelmed, to be sure,
I put on a gray and blue sock and called it a pair.
Overwhelmed, is just the half of it,
I headed for the grocery store ,
But ended up back at my front door.
When you want to go right but instead go left,
Or you forget what you are doing or where you are going,
Are you overwhelmed by it all, I'd have to say for sure you are.

Poetry: Being overwhelmed
Zeroed.
The dark wave rolls slowly over me,
Plummeting me way and far too deep.
My eyes shut tight, I see mosaic
But the wave
by Sid de Knees
I did not expect that!
There was one to the left, one to the right,
there I was caught in a horrible fight.
Pushing and
Flashes of the future come:
Scourging whips and lashing tongues.
Betrayal from a cherished friend,
where will all the heartache
by Carol Gioia
Weary and downtrodden,
feeling powerless,
beaten by the odds,
overcome with stress.
Thwarted by limitations,
succumbing to frustration,
by Bobby Coles
Boiling point reached a couple of stressors ago
Seems as though you're in a self-induced prison
Nowhere to turn to, nowhere
