Pressure, deadlines,
Trauma and stress,
Give me the weight of the world,
And I will carry it.
But as strong as I am,
I'm even more weak.
My strength is all surface,
But my weakness runs deep.
Inside I'm so fragile,
So please be aware,
Like glass, I break easily,
So handle with care.
Give me impossible jobs,
And I will fight through them all,
But if you throw a sharp word,
I will crumble and fall.
I'm strong but so weak,
I'm fragile, hard to reach,
My strength is thin, my weakness deep,
So please break in, but don't break me.

Pressure, deadlines,
Trauma and stress,
Give me the weight of the world,
And I will carry it.
But as strong as I am,
I'm even more weak.
My strength is all surface,
But my weakness runs deep.
Inside I'm so fragile,
So please be aware,
Like glass, I break easily,
So handle with care.
Give me impossible jobs,
And I will fight through them all,
But if you throw a sharp word,
I will crumble and fall.
I'm strong but so weak,
I'm fragile, hard to reach,
My strength is thin, my weakness deep,
So please break in, but don't break me.
