Stressed Poem by Charlene Chan

More than just under pressure
Tensed, nervous, worried, angry, upset

‘Take a deep breath and think positive'
Thanks, I feel better now,
wearing a fake smile on the pale mask

Truly understands me is no one but the uneasiness
who stays and supports me throughout the day,
pads me to bed
and greets me in my dreams

Hey, I'm unhappy
'Why? '
I don't know

It bothers me
but why does it bother me?
…
Because it bothers me.
