No Pressure: a Letter To 18 Year Old Me

Stop with all the pressure The pressure to be The pressure to see Just let life flow naturally Stop being so forceful It just causes rage Like our problems have trapped us in a cage Control your rage Don't let everything get under your skin Stop wearing your emotions so extremely thin Just let go Don't thinking Make mistakes and be free Allow yourself to live happily Fall in love Real love not a compromise Let it sneak up on you like a beautiful surprise Don't be fearful of the world Don't believe everything that flows into your ears If you do you will waste a lot of beautiful years Be outspoken Don't keep your objections inside Being agreeable doesn't make you popular Show yourself don't hide You are beautiful You don't need any confirmation Love yourself without any hesitation Life is hard but don't make it harder Stop with all the pressure Experience life and become smarter.
