well maybe i’m just a bit stressed 

and upset because my chest 

hurts when i breathe. i’m distressed 

at the pain as i hadn’t guessed

it was because i was so messed 

up and crumbling under the rest

of my thoughts and how oppressed 

i am despite my best 

attempts to perfect myself i’ll confess

that i’m starting to get obsessed 

by the way i neglect the thoughts that arrest

me and as a testament 

to the grey that manifests 

itself in me i’ll admit that i’m depressed.
