Young Life

My Life is Stressed

Too much pain, remembrances of my past fears and young life.

I had to grow before I was swallowed.

Trapped in my own existence only to be released on paper through my pen 
strokes.

I have so much, but have lost too much 

Remembrances of tears fallen and prayers shed to God.

It hurts to remember but strengthens me not to forget.

My only escape was to close my eyes, but to never close my hope 

and to always be optimistic.

It will stick with me until I die 

but until then 

I will live My Life is Stressed.
