Society

stress stress stress stress piercing my skull stress stress stress!!!!!!

Trapped within classrooms,

Twitching in my seat,

Itching to flee from

The grades,

The due dates,

The social status

The papers, papers, papers!

 

A clanging bell,

I'm free!

No more stress!

No more social ranking!

 

...Or maybe not.

Outside,

Homework,

Parents,

Sports,

STRESS!

Gnawing away at my mind.

 

I try to relax,

To be peaceful,

But its always there,

At the edge of my mind,

Clawing its way in.

 

And I know that

It's only a matter of time,

Until I succumb to the madness

That is my life.

I know exactly how you feel (of course, you already know that, 'cause... well, yeah). Life can be incredibly chaotic, a maelstrom of stress, status, and judgement.

I like your writing style in this piece. It isn't super eloquent, so I can tell it's a real person with real problems, but it still has a certain poetic touch to it that gives it a flowing grace. Great write! :D
