I stress


I stress because I’m not perfect 

I stress because I’ve never been good enough 

I stress because I’m alone 

I stress because I have no home 

I stress because all odds are against me 

I stress when you’re not with me 

I stress because mentally I’m not free 

I stress because I’m me 

Yes my bad days outweigh my good days 

So I have to fake a smile and pretend 

Everything is fine when the truth is.....

I’ve finally let go
