Better Than the Strain Within

I forgot what it used to feel like 
To lie in peace 
To enjoy each task
To sing while I drive 
And dance in the shower 
To watch a program 
Or make something pretty 
Without any reason. 
Endless activity around me
Each activity causes a diversion 
A diversion of thought 
Each thought carries weight 
Together, it adds up
To the weight of the world on my shoulders 
From the shoulders I'm bogged down 
Hanging now only by a thread 
With unspeakable tension in it 
Oh, when will the thread break 
That seems like a better scenario 
That tolerating the strain within
