“What’s wrong?” you ask me
I am angry with the world, for treating me badly
I am stressed with the amount of work I have to do
I am worried about losing my friends
I am frustrated that I am expected to act a particular way
I am annoyed at myself for being so pathetic
I am scared that I am going to be left behind
I am afraid of what happens when you don’t succeed
I am depressed, lonely, overloaded, exhausted, and irritable
I am so fed up with everything
“I am sick/I am tired/I am fine”
(This is a work of fiction)
