Suck it Up

She says stop thinking so hard

I wish it was that easy

She says stop worrying so much

I wish it was that simple

She says stop being so selfish

I wish I was strong enough not to be

She says stop being so anxious

I wish I could

She says suck it up

I do that

She says shut up

I do that

She says stop being so self absorbed 

I do that

Nothing has structure

Suck it up, yes ma’am 

I feel ugly

Get over yourself

I feel sad

You have nothing to be sad about

I’ll miss him

Suck it up

....

I said suck it up

.....

She said survive

I wish I could do that

She said breath

But I drowned from sucking it up
