Stress

Stress is not a good thing
Warmth, happiness, and joy
It does not bring;

Stress causes you pain
Puts your life under strain
There are no gains
Stress makes you feel
Like you are always under rain

Stress can kill
There is no pill
You must learn to chill
And possess a strong will

Stress is always around the bend
Pretends to be your best friend
Until you meet your end

Hello Mentra, it is nice to meet you. No matter who we are we all get stressed out.Sometimes it stays a short while and sometimes longer. Have a nice day my friend.
