Pressure

Deep Breaths

All the pressure building up inside of me

It's bound to come out

About to be a calamity

Deep breaths

Deep breaths

Defuse the bomb

Tick tick tick

You on one

Thoughts at an all-time high

Didn't even know that the pressure still have room to rise

So I try to close my eyes

Deep breaths

Deep breaths

Still end up with a screaming-cry

AHHHHHHHH!!!!

  • Yes, many of us struggle with this. And some have unhealthy ways of dealing with it, too.

  • Your poem serves as a reminder that many of us grapple with similar feelings, and it's comforting to know we're not alone in this experience. Thank you for sharing such a personal and evocative piece; it truly touched my heart.

  • Sometimes crying is a good way to let it all out. So sorry you're feeling this way. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
