My teacher said perspective changes things.

Like how a problem looks worse late at night.

But in the morning, it seems kind of small,

Like maybe it was never big at all.

Sometimes I think my life is way too hard.

Like every test decides my whole future.

But then I stop and breathe a little bit,

And I can see it isn’t that extreme.

The world is wide, there’s room for me to move.

I just forget that when I’m stressed at school.

So now I try to see things from afar,

Not just the way they look right at the moment.

It doesn’t fix it all, but it helps some.

At least I feel like I can handle things.
