As day rolls by
and night comes in
my mind just wanders
as the light, keeps hiding
I'm nestled in darkness
so comfortable, yet scared
the pain that seeps, the tears that shed
you just can't compare
I'm lost in their shadows,
not sure of who i am
needing to get straight A's, and staying fit
only exception is to be like them
must make them proud, must be the best
its what i have to aim
to show them what i really am
cause all this, to me is not a game
trying to overcome it all,
to make sense of who i want to be
but i need to always make them proud
theres no time, to be me.
