I’m here stressing out like I never have before,
All this pressure makes me want to just hit the floor.
I got practice, homework, and chores too,
What’s a sixteen year old guy to do?
Maybe I should act hurt or fake that I’m sick,
But I don’t think anyone’s falling for that lame trick.
Even though all this stressin’ makes me want to shout,
I guess I’m just going to have to tough this one out.

I wrote this poem after several hours of stressful basketball practice and homework. It was just how I was feeling at the time.
