Stress Poems | Examples of Stress Poetry

Too hyper. Caffeine and nicotine, a constant cycle on repeat. Fidgety, can't sit still. Can't sit still. Not enough caffeine, not enough nicotine, not enough tattoos. Can't stand the silence. Listening to the waves' crashing to drown out the spiral of thoughts racing through my head. Brain, a constant whirlwind of thoughts. Maybe just one more drag of nicotine? Maybe a...

This is a problem growing in direct proportion To the papers that we face very soon In everyone’s speech a pronounced distortion And half the class sleepwalking at noon I’m here chiefly to bring to your attention You may soon not understand us Because I for one, others by extension Shall be speaking nothing but Physics because James is moving about too excited Gerald...

My master’s degree's a senior’s cruise - most of the other students are thirty and even forty-somethings. Good for them, for making the (75K) investment, it’s hard, and they all look very serious. I am too, of course. It’s busy and constant - but it’s business analysis - it's not hard, like chemistry (see retrosynthetic analysis)...

whistles blare gun powder in the air lead pours overhead I can't wait to feel my bed I line up my rifle breathe and squeeze my orders are to strife I run empty so I freeze the quit nights are haunted this conflict was unwanted one more tally added; I can't mask it make sure they spell it right on my casket...

Now how can this truly be After so many complaints that the public can’t see There are victims here a there And people have been known to stare Victims whose torture is day and day out Making a good many people shout The torture has no rhyme or reason And can happen during any season Victims lives fall into the wrong hand Rendering the...

All through the night Nothing feels right The static sound in left ear Enticing a certain kind of fear Your body feels like it has a current of electricity The Book MK Tech explained it with complexity Never finding anything as a protector When your body is setting off EF on a detector The mind starts to fret and...

There's no stocking stuffed with presents No punch bowl filled with cheer We haven't got the tree, that We didn't buy this year No, turkey or a Ham Nor chestnuts on the fire No cookies filled with jam Or puddings to desire Chorus No friends and no family We're all alone at last No ghost from Christmas Future Present or the Past ...

I’ve knocked on every door of medicine men— doors painted with hope. Swallowed pills of every size and colour. Been told, “This one never fails.” Another promise— fulfilled only in disappointment. The body that once felt mine now feels like a stranger’s— still wearing my name tag. I sleep early, trying to rinse myself from pain, but wake up still dressed in it. The coat I wear? Pain-stitched— by a tailor...

When the darkness colors the midnight skies And all your blessings seem in the past, you surmise The ache of heart who knows nothing but lies Listen to the story of His glory – He never dies When the worries grow harder and you feel defeated And all your heartfelt yearnings are uncompleted The heavy hand of doubt causes you to...

What’s wrong with me? I’ve been asking myself this all week. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I weigh questions coldly and logically. Then it hit to me.. it’s summer, silly and I'm in classes! A typical summer would find me tanned, sunburned, greased and unkempt, like a happy, sandy, beach hobo, my hair would...

I don’t mind failing If it's only me graded If my son is off the table Failing my family Nothing can be worse Blame my weakness Curses have limits on high Depends on the vantage point Failure descends to feed Looking for a pearl in my meat Humans don’t eat their children Like the news say they do Hamster moms do it with ease Blindly gnoshing on...

Written December 19, 2024 Constantly find myself looking for a thrill Another day another week another year but still I might as well be right back where it all began Still looking in the stands for my biggest fan Nothing compares to the fever dream Yet I think I might be running out of steam At times I dream of the corner...
