Stress, stress. It'll be the death of me.
Between team, solo, algebra 2, and family.
I know what you're thinking, you're just a little girl!
Well let me tell you, I feel all the stress of the world.

Dancing was supposed to let some of it go,
but the stress just continues to flow and flow.
I'd sing a song, bake a cake, heck I'd do anything,
to feel like I did at the beginning of spring.

I hate unloading all this on my best friend,
but I guess it's better than wanting my life to end.
Without my best friends, I don't know where I'd be.
To me, all 4 of them are family.

I pray to you God, that maybe someday
A little of this stress could go away?
I've heard it gets worse as I get older,
but perhaps I'll get stronger, greater, and bolder.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
