pressure of growing up

find myself lying in bed

thinking of the future ahead

looking at the stars above

wishing to be a kid again

high expectations given to me

feeling like royalty

minus the riches, glory and fame

lots of duties in my name

Leave all childhood games behind

A lot of work to keep you tied

to live a life not meant for me

for a time to come for them to see

 

loved ones try to help you out

but feeling pressured not working out

don’t get me wrong, feeling fine

suicidal thoughts not in my mind

just scared to share my true thoughts inside

what I know now

than way back when

I wish I knew my plan ahead

Maybe all this would’ve changed

If I weren’t lazy to change my fate

Hoping one day I find my place

To see a better me in me
