Pressure

Pressure

There is a pressure, often felt
rising up from within it seems

It makes one feel highly compelled,
to often try to fulfill a dream

That dream that died, long ago
that dream that you had betrayed

But deep down inside, for better or worse,
that dream remains, you've only delayed

That crushing pressure, you'll soon realize
is because you'll die alone and that's ok.

Because soon you'll see

Not everyone gets their happy ending,
not all dreams are meant to be.
