Poems

Stress

I’m feeling so stressed
 I just want to be blessed
 I have too much weighing down on my chest
 I’m feeling overwhelmed, just want to be the best
 All of this pressure has been my biggest pest
 Help me out I’m getting so depressed
 I have a million tasks plus five more tests

Bloom

You’re sour then sweet 
 Everyone one you meet
 When I see you in the street
 My heart skips a beat
 What can I do
 To get you close to me
 Why don’t we
 See what could be

Be Yourself

Take a second
 Take a break
 Do what’s real
 Not what’s fake
 Do what you love
 Not what you hate
 Always be yourself
 There’s no time to wait
