As I Lay Here Dying

As I lay Here Dying 1 As I lay here dying I set myself up for failure I try my best Is it going to be good enough? I try my best But, there is still judgment I have not reached my potential Who decides what my potential is? I have not reached my potential What am I doing? Is it right? Who is the judge of me? My piers, My teachers, My parents, Strangers? Why do I care what they think? What gives them the right to judge me? What makes them so special? Society? 2 I look at Facebook, I look at Twitter, I look at Instagram, I check my Snapchat, When I hear the ding My pulse starts to race I am happy, I am, happy? It makes me happy, It fills the void, I think? 3 Everyone is doing it, Its normal, Its how I talk to my friends, I can’t stop. 4 As I lay here dying
