Always Under Pressure

Like the continuously ticking clock, all day and all year

The constant pressure on your chest

You are filled with the paranoia and thought of having no control

It is the feeling of drowning in the open mouth of the river

The endless black hole we find ourselves in when life takes a turn

How do we deal with it?

We struggle day to day in this world

When all we want is to be understood

We seek companionship

With the constant pressure always rising, we fail

We fail so that we may learn

We learn so that we may succeed

We want to change our lives, change the world

The pressure is the only constant thing in this ever changing world
