Poem: What Stresses Me
by Braulio Soto and Damien Leach
The Engineering School
PART I
Stress, This is what stresses me
When I can't even sleep
I start to loose control, I let it get the best of me
I mess up all my rhymes
My anger grows like crimes
Stress is like a deadly ghost that sends chills up my spine
Stress, the word keeps haunting me
But I found the remedy
The key is determination, helping me while I succeed
With my strength I start to rise
I open up my eyes
I start to gain control; I start to leave the pain behind
Stress, this is what stresses me
When the world gives up on me
But even through that deadly pain, I find the healing to succeed.
PART II
Hypocrisy in Democracy is trying to follow me
Becomes blindfolded in thought, breaks down personal privacy
People become amused with the trashful hatred
Dressing up intelligence but in reality they are naked
Perplexed ideas of destruction for the nation
Showing and causing many stressful sensations
Hateful feelings in the growth, now one can hide them
Hood hopes and Blood drops, no one can stop them
Lately, I've been sleeping with my eyes wide open
I can't stop thinking that my life's not going
To complete the goals that I dream
Life just won't stop poking
At the stress I have, it causes choking.
