I’m tired
I’m trying
But inside, I’m dying

Please help me I’m drowning
You just look at me, frowning
And say that I’m fine

You don’t take me seriously
My mental health is killing me
Oh but you say it’s untrue

“You’re just a child”
“Your imagination is wild”
Please believe me, I’m not so little anymore

This system is flawed
If only you knew how I fought
With anxiety every day

“You need to meet expectations”
“Oh wow congratulations”
“We’ve driven you completely insane”
