Stress

The adequacy of adding additional APs is not enough,

Even when times are already tough.

With procrastination and stress stabbing in the back,

Working past many mischievous midnights with various snacks.

It is often a struggle to get enough sleep,

With the bearer-of-hell wanting to make me weep.

Still being easy to fall astray,

With many distractions not going away:

Instagram, Netflix, Spotify, Snapchat;

Randomly looking up words like coup d’état.

These are some severe stressors that are known,

To which all people are very prone.

“What is my message?” one may ask.

It is to sit back in a chair and relax.

So enjoy the scene of the stars above;

Spend time with your family and show them some love.

You will always have the rest of your life to work;

But now is the time to exhibit your individual quirks.

I plead you to balance your workload with your finesse;

Hopefully, that can guide you to reducing your stress.

This piece was inspired by my past school year.  Don't make the same mistakes I made.

Enjoy!
