Pressure

pressure that could kill
an eerie, silent chill
parents, friends, family, and peers
all of the pain just burns and seers
they expect too much from me
no clue why they can't see
easily angered by anyone 
I can say my life is no fun
I know they don't care about how I feel
it is easy to forget that it is real
I do wish it was a dream
right now I want to scream
with all this pressure I'm bound to crack
and say some things I can't take back
why can't they all just understand 
that all of this pressure is turning me to sand

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
