Set me free from all of this pressure; Its breaking me,
I hope that someone hears my plea.
I'm miserable.
I want to have happiness and joy,
My life I want to enjoy.
Why do you expect so much?
I feel so out of touch.

I'm a burden; this I know,
I just don't know if this feeling will ever go.
Let me figure it out; Its not your choice,
Its like I don't even have a voice.
I want to make mistakes and learn from them,
yet me you condemn.

I don't want all to see,
the ugliness I have in me.
On the surface I may seem strong,
deep down, I know I somehow don't belong.
