There is so much pressure in life
The pressure to succeed in school
And the consequences if I fail
ISAT's and tests build up until there seems to be bricks weighing me down
Distractions cause homework assignments to be late
And for this I am yelled at for
The pressure to get my art lessons finished is almost unbearable
Track meets constantly disrupt my weeks
And practice after school leaves no time for self refreshment
Cheer tryouts are the day after tomorrow and I am unprepared
My friends pressure me to try harder
And I feel as if I'm losing my boyfriend
My mind feels like it is going to explode
I want to cry and scream
I am losing grip with reality
The pressure of life is almost too much
I need to release my anger, tears, and frustration
I feel like hurting myself for my failures and disappointment in myself
But the worst pressure of all
Is the decision to stay in Arco
Or to move back with my mother
I've tried to convince her to move
But pressure is an evil thing
Especially the pressure of life
