This is an excerpt from Sonnet 18 written by Shakespeare. If you know anything about Shakespeare's sonnets, you know that they always have a regular meter, which means that all of them are written in iambic pentameter. This means that the first syllable is unstressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable.
So, when applied to this poem, just split the words into syllables - the first one will be unstressed (so, as, can, or, can), and the second one will be stressed (long, men, breathe, eyes, see).

I hated feeling pathetic, and letting myself feel pathetic, but—I just felt so unlucky.
Shaking away the feeling, I took a look around the my best friend's room. Barbara's room was untidy, her clothes, pillows, and books strewn everywhere carelessly. I couldn't help but feel uncertain as I hung my sweater on a nearby chair and headed towards her, a sad little heap on her bed."
