No I'm not tired
I'm exhausted
And not from lack of sleep
But from everything else

The drama is too much
The stress levels are too high
The classes are overwhelming
And I feel like I'm about to die

I have too many expectations
That I set too high
And too many limits
That I set for myself

I have no one to talk to
Even though everyone is willing to hear
Because I'm scared they will judge me
By what travels to there ear

It's the drama

My friends have it all
And my coworkers as well
They gossip everyday
About what's terrible and what's swell

I should care about what they say
But really I don't care a bit
All I want is peace, quiet,
A book , and a blanket

It's the stress

I'm stressed about nearly everything
I feel like I'm losing my friends
Bands pushing me really hard
And school seems it will never end

I wish I could try harder in school
I wish I could try harder in band
But the times I have to try a little more
Is wasted on my friends

I know I need more confidence
I know things will turn out all right
But everything is changing
And I just want to cry

I'm sorry I told you all of this
I wish i didn't feel like this
I tired now can't you see
But I guess now is no time for quits
