Riley's Bedroom-9: 27 pm

The brunette glances out the considerable sized glass panning at the city below. Observing the populations that stroll down the pathways. Music from her headphones drowns in her ears.

At this moment, she feels serenity, a sense of peace and relaxation at bay. Slowly repairing her mistakes, day by day.

Who put, the world on my back and not on my hands, just give me a chance

People never give her the chance, all of her worlds are mounting down on her back. Nothing's at the tip of her fingers anymore

Listen to my Mama

She should've listened to her mama. 

Listen to my Dad

She should've listened to her Dad

Everyone relax

Everybody just needs to relax, she's gonna be alright. If only they left her a chance to breathe.

Everybody answers shit I didn't ask, think I'm reaching my limit

Others around her making automatic assumptions based on prior information. Maybe it's time to take a stand. Time to reach her limit.

Can I exhale for a minute? Can I get this out in the open? Can I sit down for a second? Can I breathe?

All these obstacles compiling in her mind. If only she had time alone to think.

Can I exhale for a minute? Can we talk it out I don't get it?

If they'd let her talk and speak her mind for more than two seconds, maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.

Can I calm down for a moment? Can I breathe for just one second?

A heavyweight lies on her chest

I put too much weight on words and glances. I, I put too much weight on situations. I put too much on myself thinking ''I don't deserve what I've earned'' but, yeah

She doesn't deserve her mother's love. She doesn't deserve her father's love. She doesn't deserve her boyfriend's love. She doesn't deserve her brothers love. 

Try to keep a sense of knowing who I am

If only she had even a slither of a sense of the person that she used to be

I try to be an angel, but I don't think I can. Think I'm reaching my limits, yeah

She needs to tell somebody about her inner turmoil. She needs to release her demons. She needs to let go of all of the hurt.

Maybe she just needs to exhale
