Timing is Nothing
jittery

Under the weight of this world
 1
we are drowning like dragonflies
 2
that could not hold themselves above the tension.

Yes! I was hoping to be greeted by something short, articulate and absolutely delightful. Reading your poem is the most wonderful thing that happened to me all day. I hope you change nothing, but if you do, I'll try to be very understanding.

Beautiful poem. Thank you!

The poem is good, the reason for the title is to get our attention, I wish that had I thought of that one :)
At the risk of being picky, the last line is not logically consistent, dragonflies would just float on the surface tension.
