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.
