Why do I feel doubt?
Why do I feel pain?
Why do I feel lost, within my own brain?

Why do I feel like,
I have to give 200%?
Or that everything I do, has to be perfect?

I use to not care, what I got in life.
But now I feel like I always have to be right.

My emotions are twisted,
I cannot conclude.
The confussion inside me,
or what I should do.

For all the test scores, tor all the grades,
for all the results that I have made.

They use to not be, the clothes on my back.
But now all I can think, is how to react.

So all of this doubt and all of this pain,
is tangled inside me and has twisted my brain
This is a poem I wrote when I was under a lot of pressure about school. Now please don't get me wrong, I am not a bad student and I proudly announce myself as a nerd but I flipped and I had to get my feelings out.

I think this really portrays the pressure people get from school and to do well when sometimes you just want to take a break or do other things :D For one of your first pieces on here at least this is a really good piece :D Awesome job writing it!
