Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCCB DDDB

The work piles up, a stressful, heavy load, (A)

I swear I follow every code, (A)

I stuck precisely to the road, (A)

But I cannot get a moment to breathe. (B)

I'm juggling tasks and making lists, (C)

Trying to avoid dramatic fists, (C)

My motivation just persists, (C)

But I cannot get a moment to breathe. (B)

I search for life's deep, perfect balance, (D)

Despite the team's annoying falliance, (D)

I'm running out of my galliance, (D)

And I cannot get a moment to breathe. (B)

I should be aiming for the stars, (E)

Ignoring these self-inflicted scars, (E)

And breaking out of these mental bars, (E)

But I cannot get a moment to breathe. (B)
