Every word I write
Every sum I figure out
Are very much in blight
By the weight of pressure
It hangs over you
daring you to let go
It encases your emotions, you
suffer from an internal pain
Where ever you wander
it is always behind you
like your shadow, ponder
the fact and it moves in for the kill
When your alone at night
lulling in and out of conciousness
it wraps itself around you, tight
with the fear of failure
Laughter never feels the same
happiness does not fill the gap
just the toxic fluid of the beast, untame
and without mercy
You cannot escape it
as it has induced all those around you
young children talk only of exams, hit
down by the stick of expectation
Adults suffer greatly with hidden pain
bills overdue and sleepless nights
their will gone and their sanity to wain
but the wall of responsibilty hides this
But like everything else which hurts us
we have brought this upon ourselves
if we could only live free and flourish
then we would be truely at one
Day after day, that dreams fills my head
it is my only haven from pressure
but it does not last long, like a lead
weight, it comes down and knocks the dream out of reality
I know one day though
I will escape pressure and its conspiritors
as I dream of a cottage in the countryside, rainbow
and lake, this pressure will not take from me
N.B I just wrote this one in 5 mins because I had to let my feelings out, so I am defintly open to working on it.
