You don't get it

I don't want to stop feeling,

I want to stop doubting myself,

I don't want to stop breathing,

I just want to sleep,

I don't want to forget,

I just want a break.

I want a break from this life,

From the pressure,

I want a day away from school,

From the teachers,

From the kids,

From the grades,

I want to get away from it all.

I want to walk away,

I want to leave the heartaches,

my insecurity,

I will not be a perfect child.

I will not get A's,

I will get D's sometimes,

It doesn't mean I don't care,

It just mean's I fell behind,

I have more things on my mind,

Voices in my head,

Telling me to give up,

To stop acting,

Saying I am weak.

I do fight against it,

I get headache's,

I get bad mood swings,

I will be upset,

I will be mad,

I will be both,

I will isolate myself from everyone,

I push people away,

I lie to the people I care about,

I cry alone,

Never on someone's shoulder,

Never with someone,

I don't ask for help,

As they don't understand,

I opened up to one person,

The one person I loved,

He meant the world to me,

After the break up,

I vowed to never open up again,

As nobody will understand.
