Stress
Because I could not control my stress
My stress easily controlled me
It always seemed to lurk inside
Without a guarantee
These past few weeks I have lost all ease
Unable to work on assignments given
I try to study to become an expertise
Yet, I never seem to be driven
No force within me inspires me to push harder
I only feel a force that seems to do all but inspire
Long days and nights pass, but it never seems to fade
It is almost as if the feeling is acting against me
There will come a day when this feeling leaves from within me
A day when a grade no longer defines the person I become
Although the force inside me now may be unfree
A day will come when I no longer feel overdone
Life, indeed, goes on
