Stress.

Crushing all your aspirations,
Choking all your inhalations,
Clutching all your exhalations,
Dismissing any celebrations.

Opening old wounds with salt,
Drawing 'happy' to a halt,
Blaming, taunting, all your fault,
Hitting like a crossbow's bolt.

Killing with a deadly blow,
You're the first and last to go,
Why I do it, you don't know,
This force of strength I'll always show.

Torture, tricking, teasing pinch,
Be careful of my painful clinch,
Attitudes and morals lynch,
I won't give a single inch.

I am stress.
