Stressed Out Poem by Emily Casbourn

</>God I know your watching me
It isn't fair to me
I stress alot and cannot stop
You see it's because I am deeply cut

I started out right just as happy as could be
Then something changed that
A little lie is all it took
I was pushed over the edge

A little while later
Things kept piling ontop of my shoulders
I started getting weighed down
No one seemed to notice it
Why did you let it happen

I got even more stressed
My hair started to go grey
I found one
I can't be going grey this young
At only 18 I start to go grey

I started to relax little by little
Then it piled up again
It is still piled up on me
I can't take it anymore! !

Everyone notices now
At school and at home
I don't relax easily
You should've showed them
I wish I was alright

Stressed out and pained
I walk down the halls again
More then the bag I carry is weighing me down
It's my friends, my family, myself
They don't get why though

I don't get it now
I am lying down and crying
I wanted to be alright
I guess I can't
This is me
Stressed out beyond all rights and beliefs.
