Short Poems

1. School Papers
They pile and stack,
A mountain of tasks,
My mind feels trapped,
Stuck in a dense haze.

2. Never-Ending Tests
Tests upon tests,
My brain feels fried,
The constant pressure,
I can’t escape, I’ve tried.

3. Sleepless Nights
Midnight oil burns,
My eyes feel heavy,
Studying without rest,
My dreams feel unsteady.

4. Balancing Act
Extracurriculars and classes,
My schedule’s a mess,
Balancing it all,
Feels like a game of chess.

Medium Poems

Crushed by the Weight

The weight of expectation
Pressing down on me
The pressure of perfection
Is all I seem to see

I’m drowning in the workload
The tasks and tests and more
I feel like I am buried
Beneath a crushing score

I try to keep on top of things
To stay ahead of pace
But still the burden grows each day
And leaves me feeling erased

I need a break, a moment’s rest
To catch my breath and be
To find some sense of balance
And feel like I am free

Until then I am weighed down
By the worries and the woes
Of school stress and expectation
That only seem to grow

A Prisoner of Stress

Trapped within these walls of school
I feel like I am chained
To endless deadlines, projects, tests
That leave me feeling pained

I wake up tired and anxious
To face another day
Of navigating the pressures
That seem to never fade

I watch my peers with envy
As they breeze through each class
While I am left struggling
To keep from falling fast

I wish that I could break free
From this endless cycle
And find some peace from stress
That has me feeling liable

But until I can find a way
To escape this prison’s hold
I am stuck here in this stress
That takes its endless toll.

Long Poems

The Weight of Academia

Every day I wake up early,
My mind already racing,
With thoughts of what I need to do,
And deadlines I am facing.

I scramble to get dressed and out the door,
Hoping to make it on time,
But the weight of academia,
Burdens my heart and mind.

The homework, readings, and assignments,
Never seem to end,
And though I try my best to keep up,
I’m constantly on the mend.

I sacrifice my free time,
And time with those I love,
In order to succeed academically,
And rise above.

But the pressure of perfection,
And the fear of failure loom,
And though I put on a brave face,
Inside I feel like a balloon.

Filled to the brim with stress and anxiety,
Ready to burst and break,
But I push through, day by day,
For my own sake.

Because despite the weight of academia,
And the stress it may cause,
I know that education is valuable,
And worth it all, because

The Weight of School

School, the place where we learn and grow,
But lately it’s been feeling like a heavy blow.
Assignments pile up, deadlines loom,
And my brain feels like it’s about to go boom.

Every day is a race against time,
Trying to keep up with the grind.
Reading, writing, studying non-stop,
My mind is in a state of overload and flop.

Tests, quizzes, projects galore,
I can’t even handle it anymore.
Feeling like I’m drowning in the sea of stress,
Thinking of school makes me feel depressed.

Days start to blend, time flies by,
And every night I let out a sigh.
Thinking of tomorrow’s workload,
I can already feel my mind in overload.

Trying to balance extracurriculars and friendships,
But school stress leaves me feeling like I’m at a loss for words.
I crave a break from this endless race,
But how do I get my life back in its happy place?

I know school is important and must be done,
But sometimes it feels like it takes away all the fun.
I’ll try some organization and self-care techniques,
And hope that they’ll help me adjust and find my way in these academic techniques.

In the end, I know I’ll get through this tough time,
But it’s hard to know when there’s no finish line in sight.
I’ll take it day by day, and tackle each task with care,
And eventually, the weight of school will lessen and leave me open to air.
