Important To Me

I'd give anything to be somebody else for a few days out the week. Sometimes I need to rewind and revive my sanity. There's too much truth in this world but not enough chances to be seen. I spend way to much energy trying to fit the standards that I grew up seeing. They say college is where you belong but they don't make getting in any easier. Far to much pressure in this society. I can barely breath with all this anxiety. But in a world like this you have to keep moving or you cease to exist. When your stuck standing still it's as if your frozen. I watch as everyone around me pretends to be real and all I want to do S.C.R.E.A.M I suddenly feel a strong need to transfer out of my body. Just for one second so I can see if I'm still me. Can I really defeat these demons in front of me? Does this girl still remember who she's longing to be? She remembers. She'll never forget. But the stress of this world can have her kneeling and ready to lose it.

I hope that you can take some deep breaths, and shut out all those demons. There is so much pressure on the young, ...I feel for you! Some of us grew up in simpler times, we were fortunate. Just listen to your heart, and do what will take you on a healthy, happy path. God Bless....Carrie
