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.
