The pressure’s killing me; I’m dying
I’m doing my best; I’m trying
Once upon a time I was flying
Now I’m just sitting in my room crying
My parents are on me spying
When to my friends I be replying
My friends think I be lying
While I sit there sipping tea sighing
The rules I keep defying
I’m annoyed by my relatives prying
I want love that’s underlying
But his calls I keep declining
My priorities I be deciding
My mistakes I keep rectifying
Teachers keep work assigning
This isn’t at all surprising
The thoughts in my mind keep striking
I keep on quickly writing
In this fake world I keep smiling
To stop myself from resigning
