The world is spinning all around,

I feel like I'm about to drown.

My thoughts pile up, a mountain high,

I can't climb up, no matter how hard I try.

My heart races, my hands are shaking,

The weight on my shoulders, I can't stop breaking.

Tasks seem endless, time ticks away,

I can't keep up, I'm losing my way.

The noise is deafening, my mind is numb,

I can't concentrate, my focus succumbs.

I try to breathe and calm my mind,

But the chaos inside, I can't unwind.

The weight of the world on my chest,

I'm trying my best, but failing the test.

Overwhelmed by this insurmountable load,

I cry out for help, my soul corrodes.

But deep within, a spark remains,

The strength to fight, to break the chains.

So I'll take a step, and then another,

Until I conquer this endless clutter.

Overwhelmed, but never defeated,

With resilience and courage, I'll keep repeated.

The key to a happy and healthy life is to protect your mental health. Take care of your mind, and your mind will take care of you.
