Nothing Left

Everything surrounds me in a deepened gasp, All of my secrets out and told, Strangers looking in and judging me A person they do not know. All of them sitting, staring Waiting for a mistake, Something for them to talk about And keep them awake. I can't handle the pressure, I'm just a girl, A teen struggling to take hold of something And find the balance in me. All I want is to stop and breath, But everyone is closing in on me. I can't close my eyes for my fear of the dark But I can't stay here any longer or life I must part. All out of air All out of hope Alll out of room To try to cope All I want is a little space A little room to contemplate But no one moves out, only in, As my life's end, starts to begin.
