Under Pressure

Slowly yet quickly

The pressure begins to build

The weight, becoming too much

My cracks begin to show

Every flaw, every wrong turn

Is evident in my face, my skin, my eyes

There's no avoiding them

Everyone stares

They finally see the real me

But the question is

Who is willing to stay

Who is willing to fix me

The poor little egg

Who couldn't bear the weight
