Suffocating.

The little time life gives me in a day,
won't allow me to relax.

It feels like I'm just throwing my life away
while I sit in class searching for the facts.

Fact is life isn't going to slow down.
Not for you, not for anybody.

I'm stressed.
I'm in distress.
I'm suffocating
trying to breath
when I feel the need to scream.

I want to break free
but I'm afraid of falling
from this tree
that my family
has grown before me.
