Removing Some Tension from Each Line

If I have a strong desire to convey
the feelings and stress I’m having
from any situation, the contest or
challenge is all about how to con

vey those without dispensing to
anyone who might listen the act
ual stress, the torment that I am
going through.  That exact thing

which I am trying to relay.  And
for what?  If I’m just venting,
I mean first of all, if I’m just
venting, why bother you with

such things?  It’s healthy to vent,
on occasion, but now I’m interested 

in how best to convey something
to you that is causing me a bunch 

of personal turmoil without

giving any of that tension to
anyone else.  These are my
problems, and I do want to

take care of them.  On my
own.  So then what happens
when that becomes an
impossibility?  No, wait,

that wasn’t the question
or problem I was posing.
But, fine, it’s the one in
this case that really counts.
