Life is full of too much stress

by Maddy   Dec 5, 2008


Life is full of too much stress.
I am pessimistic, I confess.
Always worrying, always crying,
Must admit, tears I'm not denying.
Release my pain, my stress, my worry
Cry my hear out in a hurry.
Taste of salt as water floods corners of my mouth,
Warm glacial rivers running south.

Life is full of too much stress.
I get jealous, I confess.
The demon grabs my mind, twist my heart.
Jealous of people who's lives are falling apart.
How can I let a guy in the way of my friend?
Like him, love her, support I will lend.
She's perfect, beautiful inside and out.
But still herself she continues to doubt.
So for my best friend
I will hide my pain and to her I will tend.
But I have to ask, will this jealousy never end?

Life is full of too much stress.
I will get braces soon, I confess.
Already three years past,
Orthodontia continues to last.
Ugly already; doc said will get worse before better,
Braces like my personal fetter.

Life is full of too much stress.
I think too much, I confess.
Brain always racing, don't pause for breath
Just keeps pushing, escalating whatever's left.
Jumping to the worst conclusions,
Don't pause to think maybe just illusions.
Worn out day after day,
From over active mind, colorfully painting life's plays.

Life is full of too much stress.
Death haunts me, I confess.
Family members past and gone.
Worrying about life, and not lasting long.
Friends going through the circle of life,
Feel so helpless, can't stop death's strife.
Horror movies plaguing back of my mind
At advanced level, most can't find, unable to unwind.

Life is full of too much stress.
I need to be more optimistic, yes.
No more dark, shadowy corners,
Going to shine, being reborn.
Letting go of stress; demons fell.
Life no longer living Hell.
Making my future bright as can be,
Focusing on having fun, being free.

    I really loved this poem, it was written in your perspective.. which I loved cause I knew your feelings and such were true throughout. I found this something I could connect to myself. My life is always full of so much stress because of many reasons.. and stress often leads to that pessimistic attitude.. yet.. you know you should be more optimistic about things.. but sometimes all the stress buliding up doesnt always allow that, does it? I totally knew where you were coming from in this poem. The line that I thought was so true was.. when you were talking about getting your braces on and how your doctor told you.. "It only gets worse before it gets better." That quote is so very true.. try to live by it. :] Some things will get worse before they get better.. its only how life goes.

    Well done sweetie.
    I found myself able to connect to your
    emotions and feelings very well, and
    I found it really easy to understand where
    you were coming from.. cause I deal with
    stress on a daily basis too as well as many
    other people.. its life for ya!

    Anyways, I have to give this poem a 5/5.
    You definatly had some great vocabulary
    in this write.. which really attracted my
    attention as well. For a title, I'm terrible
    at suggestions.. but simply you could do..
    "Life Causes Me Too Much Stress." Or..
    "Stress is Consuming my Life." ha, really..
    I dont know. I'm terrible at coming up with
    titles. Anyways, well done sweetie.
