my mental health's low, but that's okay.
as long as i'm getting those straight As.

and i'm hurting inside but that's alright,
because if i put on a smile then they don't mind.

and i'm feeling alone but that's fine,
because teens feel that way all the time.

and i'm trying my hardest but it's not enough,
because nothing for us is ever 'too much'

no one to talk to but that's 'a lie,'
because everyone's there for you half the time.

feeling stressed out but that's pathetic,
because what do we know? we're just kids.

feeling alone but we ain't,
because we're surrounded my strangers all day.
