Stress inside

The demon everyone faces

A mental burden to everyday life

However, has never been something that holds me back


It compiles things in all aspects of life

And feeds your struggles with extra challenges


The awfully annoying test in life

A test you're faced with everywhere

Yes, stress is the monster within it all


It comes along with every decision, piece of work, and occurrence in life

And ultimately makes things feel impossible at times


The thing that may make you feel like your gonna snap

A demon that makes you put up a good fight

But, you always surpass and never looks back


It is like having too many things on your plate

And not being able to stay up to date


The time when a teacher assigns too many assignments 

A time when they are all due on the same day

However, you cannot overthink, you just have to conquer and devour

It is the demon, that also comes with the capability to always overthink

And you just got to remember, don’t think too hard and it can turn out to be a piece of cake


Now, that I have said my piece 

I hope this helps you from turning weak 

when you face a time that you feel defeat

A free-write poem and I just decided to write anything that came to my mind about stress. Also different way I view stress and the toll it takes on lots of people in the world.
