Best Stressful Poems


Modern Life Is Stressful

Modern life is stressful they say
Nothings right or wrong, everything gray
So before you start your day
Get on your knees before God and pray

And as you drive to your daily task
Keep talking to God and wisdom ask
And keep talking to Him from dawn to dusk
Tell Him everything dont be brasque

Rejoice evermore the bible says
Pray pray without ceasing always
give thanks in everything all your days
To God be glory honor and praise
Amen

Stressful Vacation

Stressful vacation
In-laws staying for six weeks…
Where's the Valium?


Life Is Messful and So Stressful

So much lying, lots of cheating
Why is everybody scheming
To be dishonest and mean
Why can't people just come clean
And admit when they are wrong
Its not weak, it makes you strong
To be human and at fault
So there's no need to assault
And be sneaky or unfair
It's so simple, really clear
No one's perfect like a god
Life is treacherous and hard
Mistakes are made each day from all
We all stumble, we all fall
Don't feel your the only one
Who is put under the gun
Of life's weird insanity
We are all in unity
Day by day we just survive
Lucky to be so alive

I'M Sorry

I’m sorry,
That I sound like I’ve been put to mute.

I’m sorry,
That I was speaking first.

I’m sorry,
That I added to the conservation 
only to be left out with no feedback.

I’m “Fine”
I’ll just listen as you talk about
My favorite things

It’s “Okay”
I’m used to feeling see-through

I’m just “Tired”
At the fire, the feeling of burning words stuck in my throat

I’m not sorry, 
I'm not fine, 
and I'm not tired

I’m Hurt-filled with Stressful feelings while standing in the flame
And questioning if I'm actually putting the flames out
With tears that fall so silently,
My shaky breathing sifting through the smoke

It's surrounded me for so long

I’ve become cautious of this uncontrollable out-of-it mindset
Feeling burnt out before I even speak 
The feeling of lies sinking in as I become more lost and scorched to my core.

Every Minute Palpitation In Covid War

Agreeable Dawn for a   
  In though a blade 
     No other goal .... "Go just bounce around"
       Every clump made me haggle with fate 
Twinkle in my lips at the end of walk 
  My magnifiers fall on the bumblebee on Hawkweed
     Which throw me to  notion of stubborn ethnic group
          In COVID war alike poison of weed unnoticed by bee
Like a halfwit mad ,took the pretty from plant
  Felt a pricky  near my collar 
     Just gave a Pat and back to force 
       Clock had done it's work many times 
         Just a blink to me 
Felt something hitchy 
  Heard the
    Every lively throb broke a hailstrome in my skull
      Felt hacksaw in my abdomen
Index of my heart gone blanch 
   Weaping from my throat surrounded the virus 
   No more blaze just pain 
    My magnifiers turned to the quarantine bed 
Striked a mirth in my lips 
    Bled raised on my neck 
         Blaze in eyes ,no more  
        Just a halter of bumble bee 
My defense mechanism showed over perfection
   Inoculation of fright flight dominator 
      CAN MAKE ME ALRIGHT


Stressful Days

Nothin's goin right,

Im so stressed out;

My insides are in turmoil

I think  the butterflies are drunk.

I have to manualy relax my jaws

And unpurse my lips

And when I do,

Its almost painful.

Theres a throbbing behind my eyes

And when I close my eyes

For more than a blink

I have to pry them back open.

Even thinking is hard

Cuz the commanding thing in my thoughts

Is my Baby

And hes not with me

And I miss him so bad.

Days like this...

Makes me wanna cry

If I dont consciously refrain myself

I WILL cry.

I know its a combination of things

Thats making this day sucky

But something as simple as a hug

From my Darling

Would change sooo much...

I miss my Love:-(

Memories

You are in my memories, 
You are in my heart .
Never be solitary,
Never be apart .
You are my raw , 
I make your craft.

Sleep Thief

Once again, sleep evades me
Weary and worried, I lie awake
Struggling to quiet my anxious mind
The relentless 'why's' and 'what if's'
And the self-deprecating thoughts stealing my slumber

A complicated dilemma and a tough choice
An outcome and a consequence
Does my head know best?
Why does my heart feel otherwise?
Not sure the odds are in my favour

I continue to toss and turn
Feeling uncertain and ill-prepared
Exhausted eyes stare blankly at the ceiling above
Time is about to run out 
Both on my deadline 
And my night's sleep

Premium Member Stressful Days

Stressful days are here again
We built them up so tall
Not knowing they'd bring our fall
Stressful days
Stressful days
There's no end in sight

Stressful days are here again
To bring me pain
That cuts right through the vein
Stressful days
Stressful days
There's no end in sight

Stressful days are here again
I don't know if I can make it
Without losing my wits
Stressful days
Stressful days
There's no end in sight

Stressful days are here again
And soon they're going to end
But I broke my back trying to bend
Stressful days
Stressful days
The end is nigh at last

Stressful Minds of the Divorced

Oh how I loved thee contrary to time, and space - my mind slips the present into the future----tense.

Premium Member Stressful Journey

Poet's journey, start to end-
filled with some stress to attend.
Captive once it has begun-
till a poem is all done.

When the poem is complete,
the road traveled becomes sweet-
knowing the goal has been met!
Stressful journey- soon forget!

Stressful Students

You study hard, to get good grads
and with all that stress, you have made the grade

When you have finished, you bring out a sigh
and then you plan, to party with the clan

With all those drinks, you’ll get rid of stress
but when you wake, you’ll feel so fake

I Sigh

I sigh when I say good morning 
And I’m stuck listening to the
Negativity and problems of
Someone else's day
I sigh when my computer
Runs slow or the internet crashes
That puts me behind
In my work
I sigh at how the
Cost of living is rising quickly
Without any remorse for
The elderly
I sigh at how the
Minimum wage is 
So low that the people can
Barely make ends meet anymore
I sigh at the virus
That keeps evolving into
Something new each time
Disrupting our daily lives

Premium Member Very Stressful Times

These are very stressful times
with the high cost of living these days
It's difficult to understand
how people with a low income can survive
It's beyond my comprehension
they need assistance from somewhere
A rich uncle good investing at an early age
winning the lottery maybe all of the above
Yes these are very stressful times
