Although invisible; it is everywhere,
In every student’s busy mind,
The “To-Do” lists and daily agendas build,
And build, and build, and build….
“Here’s another assignment,”
The teacher states,
And the mind instantly becomes cluttered.
School to sports to homework to sleep…
The countless hours never end.
The student screams,
“I can’t take this anymore!”
And hopelessly breaks down to a sob.
The simple words screamed instantly release a
monster,
The poor student has lost all hope.
The stress monster has taken over.
The demon that forces the overwhelmed student
To break down,
Stop,
And cry.
