Pressure
Something keeps pushing him
stronger and stronger down
what's holding him back?
what's making him frown?
everyone blames him when they get mad
never understand him they just always call him bad
he's resisting
he wants to rise and re-appear
but everytime he tries again
he's burdened by what people think he needs to hear
so negative
no positive inspiration
no reassuring words around to spark his motivation
obligations, restrictions
someone always yelling in his ear.
it angers him that people always look at him with fear
excluded, self secluded, no one around to be friend
no chance for self discovery
when his limits become his end
