Doctor's Heart Series Random Thoughts #7: Ah yes, I'm stressed!
Ah Yes, I'm Stressed!
Day starts with an hour-long commute,
An extra cup of caffeine just to stay astute.
Cortisol prevents me from shutting down,
My head's perpetually connected to gadgets.
Dopamine depleted, no happiness in sight;
Ah yes, I'm stressed!
Work never ceases to finish,
Physical fitness takes a hit, my diet plans have an end date.
Sleep cannot refresh me anymore; the screen monster consumes me every night,
Ah yes, I’m stressed!
Instant gratification is all I know; I go on vacation, looking for Wi-Fi.
Gazing outside through the lens of a phone camera,
Interacting with real people is a relic of the past, scrolling keeps my days occupied.
I have everything yet feel like I have nothing.
Ah yes, I’m stressed!
