Stress

You must never show what you feel inside

Never express the weakness that you hide

You’re strong, and can handle anything that comes your way

Don’t let anyone see the storm that’s growing day by day

There’s nothing worse than losing face

Gotta be calm, eloquent, poised in grace

Fill in the cracks, don’t let things show

Still the storm continues to grow

Smile, just keep smiling through the tears

Remember, you can’t submit to your fears

You must do this on your own

Can’t ask for help, this must be done alone

Wanting to let out the scream being held back

Just let everything free and slip through the crack

Reaching out to grab someone’s hand

Anyone, please, I’m failing to stand

The waves swirling around me

I can see my fate with certainty

The current drags me underneath

I just want air to breathe

If I stop fighting, I’m sure to drown

Feeling myself falling further down

I need help, I know it’s true

I just don’t know how to ask you

So, I’ll keep fighting this current until

I lose all my strength and my will
