Pressure.
Some say it is the very element that compels us to work harder
Others say it is part of the very principles of life
But, to me, it is a test
A test,
to measure how far I can go
how far I will go
how far my will can withstand its very force.
And..
Even after I have exceeded my breaking point
It remains.
I have tried escaping.
By striving for perfection in every task
In hopes that by completing these tasks,
It would go away
But I was wrong
Upon completion of a task
another arrives to replace it
The burden just keeps coming.
True..
By abandoning every task appointed to me,
By rejecting whatever challenges life offers,
By simply...not caring,
I can minimize pressure
But,
there's a saying:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
So there.
I guess..
one way or another
I'll just have to learn to live with pressure.
Yours truly,
Kelvin Low
