My mom says she has a lot of stress,
that is why she smokes.
Stress?
Ha! Like she know what the word actually means...
Stress is knowing your brother died of drugs,
and your parents are drug addicts.
Stress is when you don't know who you are,
when you can't stop kids from labeling you.
Stress is trying to get your grades up,
but knowing in the end it's hopeless.
Stress is not being able to see that guy,
the one who actually listens to you.
Stress when people call you names,
tell you to do something.
Stress is when those same people yell at you,
for doing what they told you.
Stress is trying to be kind,
but kids laughing at you anyways.
Stress is school,
when you teachers won't let you go free.
She doesn't know stress,
she never has and never will.
I have real stress,
and it's just about killing me.
Yes, I wear dark colors.
No, I'm not emo or goth.
So please stop labeling me,
take a bit of the pressure off...
