Under Pressure Poem by Stacey Gibbs

I’ve lost all individuality
I’m trying to be like everyone else
I just want to be myself
But I can’t dropp the fake “me”
I’ve watched everything I held dear fly away
It doesn’t matter anymore
It all comes down to one thing
But it doesn’t matter
Life is one big hell of a ride
Where most people don’t care
You’re telling people your problems
They’re not listening to them
I feel like I’m drowning
But I’m truly not
Ha! I am in my feelings
I’m screwed now
If you could help me
Would you help?
I know you wouldn’t or couldn’t
because you’re under pressure.
