Shameful

Quietly
When you're not around
No footsteps
Don't make a sound

Hiding away because I'm not proud
A child in an adult body
But still not allowed
Feeling pressured beyond measure

Knowing I'll let you down
The sobs are heard all through town
They yank me around
Holding me under until I drown
