Can't

25 4 1
                                    

Keep doing doing this
The pressure of everyone
I can't do anything productive
No wonder why I can't pass school
I'm failing my life
Failing my friends
Failing myself
I even talk to my stepmom properly
I freeze up
Even though I've known her for over a year
She asks me questions
And I answer them
But I can't speak beyond that
Help me
I'm falling apart
'The fear of falling apart'
Lyrics from a song repeating in my head
They are true
'If you love me let me go'
I wish everyone wasn't wanting me to be great
I can't stand it.
But,
'They haven't seen the best of me yet'
And they haven't
I can do some things
But no one cares to ask about them
I want to show
Yet I want it to be a secret
I can keep others secrets
But I can't keep my own
Ask me anything about me
And I'll shout it out
I can't keep doing it
I want to give up
I want to shut down
But I can't
'This is the best of my heart'
But
This is not gospel
