Too Many Feelings

I let in all too many feelings,
My emotional self, a situation I wish I wasn't in.

So many things that I should've kept unsaid.
So many times I felt like a maniac.
I lost track.

Getting emotional at two in the morning,
Bad habits.

So many feelings,
It feels like a part of me is suffocating.

Growing up, whatever the hell that means.
Feelings I can't get over.
I thought It'd be a dream.

Why do feelings hit so hard in this life?
Why can't I get over them in one night?

Too many feelings,
Too many times stuck in the pressure of my head,lying awake in bed.

I don't know if my friends actually care,
Is this growing up?

I've seen better days,
Please, boys stay away, my head is cramped without space.

I feel like I'm stuck,
Work that needs to be done,

But I need to drink something, maybe more oxygen will reach my brain and help me be okay.

Too many feelings,
Keeping up with every one's selfish dealings.

Tryna be perfect for their expectations.
When they don't understand, nor do they want to get what I mean when I say I'm doing greatly.

I'm tired of myself.
Of everything ahead.
That I haven't experienced yet.

I thought I was courageous,
But I'm not brave.

I thought I had strength,
But I don't feel strong.

I thought I could take on whatever
But feelings contribute to the matter.

All too many feelings.
To be honest, I'm tired of enduring.
