Stress Is Kept As It Depresses Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A kept stress depresses.
And to confess it isn't the best thing to do...
If one is trying to prove,
They can be super human too.

Some folks brag about what they can do,
When stressed.
As if happiness and getting rest...
Is something to detest.

And these same people,
Complain about having a loss of time.
They can't seem to find any of it,
To relax and ease their minds.

But stress is kept as it depresses.
As people care less to openly profess,
What a doctor has prescribed...
As a remedy to recommend and suggest.

Yet those who believe,
Others they must impress...
Are often those left alone,
With physical and mental issues...
A discomforting breakdown has forced them to address.
