Small World

Nearly an adult yet not ready at all My world has shrunk down to a tiny ball Hopeless, helpless dark and bleak They make me feel stupid, ashamed and weak Ashamed of what I do, say behave Ashamed that I get upset, can't be brave The awful sense that it has all gone wrong, That I've left it too late and far too long Knowing my life will be some bad compromise Makes me frustrated, tears well in my eyes I wonder why I bother at all When my world has shrunk into a tiny ball.
