It’s not easy you know.
Sometimes it feels like there’s a weight,
It continues to weigh me down.

All those little hopes and dreams,
Fly away like a vulture.

It has never been easy,
With the overwhelming sense of anxiety creeping up behind me.
It *****.

Time and time again,
I despise that look of disappointment and regret,
They leer over my shoulder every **** day,
hoping to catch every little mistake.

Those tiny things that we have no control over,
Drive me insane.

I can’t handle not knowing or controlling something.

I go mad at the thought of imperfection,
Even though I know that perfection…
Is only a fairytale.

But that doesn’t change the fact that every time I do something,
My mind goes into a frenzy of cynicism.

It’s not easy ya know,
Trying to carry that weight on my shoulder.
