Mental Anguish

Lying down on my bed, scrolling away on my phone

Stressing about problems won’t get solved on their own

For a little context, it’s that time of the year

When I wanna bury myself and disappear

But no can do, all these tests and practicals

Looming over me, made my sanity catapult

Till I’m checking corners for a hunter with the bounty

Mind playing tricks, locked me away from its county

Carrying a mountain of hate, but my back’s still straight

No one can relate, but their favourite action’s to berate

So I turn the other cheek, hide the anguish on my face

Even tired to just speak, some realities I can’t face

But in this race to succeed, losing points is necessary

A little pushback is the key to victory

From a full-page news to a column obituary

Well, time’s up, back to scrolling, today’s itinerary.
