Isolation helps me clear my thoughts,
But also ties me up with more knots.
I just want some alone time,
But that'll put me behind.

I have work to do.
I have to socialize with you.
I have to care for everyone.
I can't just say “I'm done”.

I have to be physically fit.
In school I need to know every bit.
I have to aim higher than my goal,
Even if my potential will never be full.

A simple break is all I ask for.
Just time to rest and nothing more.
Yet not even my mind will sleep,
And at this I wish I could weep.

My heart isn't broken by strangers,
I don't fear many dangers.
But I always feel that I'm pressed.
That makes me always feel stressed.

There's no easy way.
I suffer day by day.
I fight with those who care,
But hold a grudge, I wouldn't dare.

Everyone has their hardships.
Our lives have highs and dips.
But that doesn't allow sidetracking.
“Stop seeing what you're lacking”.

I'm told that I can do it.
I need to fight and not sit.
I can't give up just yet.
“You'll do anything, I bet”.

I'm worried they think too highly.
The laughing snake speaks slyly.
I'm being convinced negatively.
I start thinking speculatively.

I'm falling for the bad tricks.
This gives jokers some kicks.
They easily make me mad,
Then I mess up and get sad.

But despite it all,
I won't truly fall.
I need to stand up strong,
Because it won't be long.

Life isn't forever,
Me and everyone together.
We must live life to its fullest.
And we must sharpen the dullest.

Don't only help you alone,
Go out and help everyone to atone.
Let's work and make this great.
We want love, not hate.
