Overwhelmed

Updated: Oct 10

A young person is laying on a bed and their face is covered with post-its that say things like, "You got this," "Grind," "Hustle," "Team no sleep," etc. The backdrop of the bed is also covered in post-it notes but they are out of focus. We get a feeling of overwhelm.

Written by Jason Gray, a 10th grader at Hueneme High School.

 

I’m overwhelmed, and it’s no secret.

I do too much, and it’s hard to deal with.

Take up my time, and get no rest.

End the week crazy stressed.

Don’t have a breather for myself.

I think I might need some help.

Plan my future way too early.

Life on pre-order, crazy surly.

Going through my mind at mach ten.

It’s hard to sleep and live with them.

But take some time, enjoy the moment.

Life is hard, and we all know it.

Persevere, you’ll make it through.

In the end, I believe in you.Plan my future way too early.
