The Weight

Pressure.

It comes from many places

From parents to school

To just getting through a day

Pressure is over us all

We always seem to focus

On the negative pressure

That makes us stress and worry

But don’t forget about the positives

Like the pressure, you feel

When you want to do better

The pressure that makes you succeed 

A bit of pressure is always good,

Keeping you going with all your might

But too much is worse

Making you worry yourself into a hearse

People feel pressure every day

But how they choose to take it

Can determine the person they will be

At least for that day.
