Mountains of pressure,
Placed on me everyday
One day I will break.

I am not perfect,
Just like anyone else here
Trying to survive.

I cannot just smile
And hold back every tear-
Sometimes I just cry.

You say I'm worthless,
But tomorrow claim its love-
Yet how can that be?

I want it to stop,
I don't want to be flawless-
I want to breakdown.

I want to have times
Where I am raw and broken
Shattered and fractured.

If I never break
Always putting on fake smiles,
How will I be fixed?

Sometimes I feel like my entire life is pressure- from teachers, friends, parents, everyone. And sometimes I breakdown, but I'm glad I can be vulnerable. Just remember if you feel broken right now, that means sometime you're going to get fixed.
