It is one of the most
emotionally tolling things I have ever been through
We sweat
We bleed
We cry
We fear
Over what?
The most mundane things
GPA, AP classes, Dual Credit
Where to sit at lunch today?

It's the new silent killer
It doesn't run at us with
knives or guns
but approaches discreetly
we don't
see it coming until the
insanity
is upon us

by then it is far too late
now we can just clutch our rosary and hope the madness
will subside
with our GPA
still intact.
