A poem about stressed, young people and the pressure lying on their shoulders.

As a young person I always gotta worry,
I’m always in a hurry
and the days can get so blurry.

I have to sell myself, reach my cell and tell myself,

That I always have to be the best I can,
And that I have to grow up and become a man.

Why do I always meet this stress?
I recently have become a mess!

All I can focus on is the simple word “Success”,
It’s not always easy to be young, I must confess.

  • BluSphere on Nov 21, 2010

    Supermember: Thanks a lot! That’s really sweet of you to say.

    Annashank: That’s right.. But it can be difficult. I’m just pleased that I and my girlfriend have no problems right now and that there’s no crazy reports or essays to do for me right now. They’ll probably come in December. Oh well..

    Suni51: Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it and.. helped you! :)

    It is hard enough to be alive, leave alone being alive and young.

    The world is in to much of a hurry. There was a line in a song that was, “slow down you’re going to fast, you’ve got to make the morning last:.

  • BluSphere on Nov 21, 2010

    That’s right Leo.. Thanks for your understanding (:

  • BluSphere on Nov 21, 2010

    That’s a good sentence, Larry. I agree with you.

    “Just kicking down the cobblestones, Looking for fun and feeling Groovy!”

    Yes, I recall the stress of being young. I think the main cause of stress is being alive. There is stress at every stage of life, only the specific thing stressing us changes. Most of us have Cinderella Syndrome: the belief that life will be easier when….

    But when the next stage of life comes when we thought life would get easier, it never does. The cure for stress is to give all of our burdens to Jesus, He gives peace and joy in the midst of our circumstances, and strength to carry our loads.

    Blu, it’s beautiful, but it’s also so true. Unfortunately, the stress doesn’t end here. :P

    Great work though.

    Excellent Write!!

  • margaridab on Nov 21, 2010

    I do agree with you that it’s not always easy to be young. I think that most of the times people think exactly the contrary but to be young is also a responsibility and the right time to make us better human beings. It’s not easy at all..

  • sravans578 on Nov 21, 2010

    great share

  • crisdiwata on Nov 21, 2010

    Stress is everywhere. Don’t let it conquer you, you must be the one to conquer it. :)

  • LCM Linda on Nov 21, 2010

    Well said. My stress grows with my age. Great share.

  • Judy Sheldon on Nov 21, 2010

    When I was young I felt the weight of the world but I thought growing up would remove it. I wanted so bad for school to be over. It seemed to take forever. Now I am older, 4 children, 2 step children, 26 grandchildren and 3 great grand children older and the days fly by. I have the weight of my family’s cares and times goes by too fast to meet everyone’s needs. It doesn’t stop – it evolves.

    Your poem is beautiful. It brought it all back to mind. lol

  • Ukrainian on Nov 22, 2010

    Good poem. Write more!

  • Aurora1 on Nov 22, 2010

    Nice Poem!

  • BluSphere on Nov 22, 2010

    Karen Gross: I think you’re right about being alive. It’s stressy! and it’s right that most of us keep thinking that everything will get easier when *someting* is over. We should try and take it slow and don’t stress too much, and accept the fact that life IS full of stress.

    Mr. Reggie: Thanks a lot!

    Margaridab: I’m glad that you understand! :) I agree with you. Thanks..

    Sravans578: Thank you.

    Chrisdiwata: That’s true.. But it’s difficult to always qonquer it. We must try though!

    LCM Linda: I’m sorry to hear about that, but I guess that’s very normal.

    Judy Sheldon: Oh my god. I get alls stressed just by reading your comment, Judy. I hope you get time to enjoy all your childre, step children and grand children! :) – You’re lucky because some people don’t have much family and no children (or step or grand children) I’m glad you liked it.

    Ukrainian: Thanks a lot. I don’t think I will write more poems, it’s very difficult for me! :) Maybe..

    Aurora1: Thank you very much Aurora1 :)

  • Michal Dorcak on Nov 22, 2010

    Very nice poem and I can relate to it too. Though, recently (past few months), I got out of that mess and decided to ignore pressure from my surroundings. Do only what I really need to to survive (and not everything that other people expect me to achieve) and instead focus on things like enhancing my health, strenght, getting enough sleep and most important – to avoid any unecessary stress:)

  • Michal Dorcak on Nov 22, 2010

    Oh, and so far it seems to be working just fine :)

  • Angelgirlpj on Nov 22, 2010

    Great poem about stress. I’d like to tell you life gets easier, but my momma taught me not to lie!

  • Carolyn Cordon on Nov 22, 2010

    We can only live one moment at a time. Too many people are trying to do too much, and they’re missing out on just living.

  • BluSphere on Nov 22, 2010

    Michal: That sounds like a fantastic idea. I think many people get soo stressed because of everybody else’s expectations. I do the same right now. I get middle-good grades in school and I try to relax more. I know I’m good in school and the teachers does the same so I don’t think a little break will hurt that much :)

    Angel: Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked it. Haha! Thanks for the great comment. I’ll just take it with a smile :)

    Carolyn C: That’s right. I know what you mean.. Great thoughts.

    Thanks to all of you for reading and commenting my article. I really appreciate that :)

    Important not to get too stressed. It will never end so why not enjoy what we can of each day.

  • BluSphere on Nov 23, 2010

    That’s right, Sharifa. I couldn’t agree more :)
    I will try to do this..

    Too true I’m afraid. Still, we have always had the rat race. It never gets easier. I ended up retiring through stress, so you are SO right.

  • BluSphere on Nov 24, 2010

    Oh I’m sorry to hear about that, but yes.. Stress can be really awful ..

    Thanks for reading and commenting, friend.
