The Stress

The stress is getting inside

Caving in the walls of my mind.

There’s no place for me to hide

The stress has me in a bind.

 

But I’m not giving in

I feel the resistance within!

Even if this is a battle I can’t win,

The stress will not make me give in.

I am going to fight

Despite my overwhelming fright

Even if this is a battle I can’t win,

The stress will not make me give in

 

Though the pressure is hurting within…

 

The stress is getting inside

Growing strong as time goes by.

There’s no reason to run and hide

I won’t refuse to try (and win this fight) .

 

Even if this is a war I can’t win,

I refuse to give in.

 

Though the pressure is hurting within…
