I'm always under pressure,
I'm always expected to be great.
I'm always expected to be the leader,
But I'm not the best so don't under-estimate.
*Always on
Always doing things
For other people
Because that’s what they want
But what about me?*
You don't care about me,
You put pressure on me.
Just because you're free,
It doesn't mean it'll last thee.
*You think you know best
Know my limits
But if you push too hard
You’ll soon find
I don’t just snap,
I explode*
Pressure is like a dark fog,
It creeps and appears.
It bites like a savage dog,
And disappears.
*But even when it’s gone
The bites are infected
Leaving a little pressure in everything you do
******* the joy from the things that used to offer a break
A shadow on the sunniest of days*
Years later,
The wounds are the same.
Those scars won't leave me,
And those scars bare shame.
I want to remove them,
But sadly they wont go.
They're too deep,
And my greatest foe.
*Your voice in my head
Echoing my deepest doubts
Scars from your abuse
Running rampant in my head
Adding the pressure
To prove you wrong*
