Bubbling Over
Like a pot overboiled
too much heat will have you bubbling over
but sometimes the heat applied
seems to be for a sizzling simmer
but causes a bubble bath in our pot
we’re told to calm down,
that it’s not a big deal
but snap sizzle shout
you bubble over
when too much is in our pot
a dash of sleepless nights
marinated with too much homework
then snap sizzle shout
you need a time out
it’s time we turn the heat down
let the bubbles pop away
just breathe in and out
so we don’t snap sizzle shout
stop spreading the heat
stop rising problems to the surface
don’t snap sizzle shout
just fizzle out

This piece is about getting overwhelmed and stressed out. Sometimes I have a lot of things on my plate and it almost pushes me to my breaking point. This poem is about that and how you have to try to breathe and calm down before it gets to be too much to handle.
