Poems about daily struggles and overwhelming moments (anxiety, overthinking, trust issues etc.)


One of my favorites:

We go through the motions
Every morning visualizing the moment we will finally be in bed again 
You wake up, slowly getting through the day
As the hours go by the anxiety and stress and expectations pile onto you
Our parents scolding us that we're lazy 
They don't know we hate ourselves for it 
They don't know we spend endless hours staring at our phone with jealousy and defeat 
We watch people's best lives as we're going through our worst moments 
The world is burning and the hate is easier to give than ever 
So no... being a teenager isn't easy 
Images assault us, screaming we're not good enough 
Because the person we're watching is 17 and a millionaire 
While we practice out smile in the mirror making sure it looks sincere
