I feel
Worn out
And overused
Thrown aside
Because I can't
Live up
To overly high standards
That suffocate me
Making me drown
And lose myself
In
A vain attempt
To be what everyone wants
Me to be
When all I want
Is to be free
From the chains
That are binding me
To the Earth
Stopping me
From flying high
And accomplishing my dreams
Of a world full of peace
And there is no poverty
And we truly say what we think
Without worry
Of being judged
By people who have
Never even met you
Thinking they know
Your life story
When they have never felt
What pain you have
Pulled yourself through
Landing on your feet
Only to be pulled
Into a cyclone
Of unwanted pity
From those who think
They understand
You
When with every
Experience
You come out
A different person
Than you were before
With more complicated
Emotions
And falser
Smiles
That hide your true pain
From the uncaring world
That we have made
