The Student In Me

When talking about the school year end,
All students will relate.
Beings a student is challenging.
In trials and obstacles, we were exposed.
Sometimes we thought of giving up.

The journey of a student is a roller coaster ride.
It is where my life was put to the test.
There are lots of events that happened,
and there I was shaped because of it.
I am now the better version of myself — am I?

Pressure here, pressure there, pressure everywhere.
There are also responsibilities to take.
My health is now at risk, can’t they see?
These pressure and responsibilities are killing me,
It leads me to forget about my well-being.

I was pressured to do this and that
Because of my own expectations — really?
Also, the expectations of the people around me.
I was solely focused on studying,
afraid to fail to do something — now I hurt.

I can’t do this anymore — I want to give up.
I felt alone and helpless — to whom shall I seek help?
But I cheer myself up and believe there’s a reason to fight.
Struggling as a student living with mental health issues,
I know I’ll get through it, and yes, I’ve made it.
