What I am wondering tonight
Is if everything will be alright?
I’ve felt this pressure building for days
Of being stretched in so many ways
My heart won’t stop this pounding in my chest
Even when I sleep, I don’t really get any rest
The demons are always clawing at my back
I’m not sure if I can even stay on track
I know that I can’t please everyone
Will the dust settle when all’s said and done
I really need to feel some sort of inner peace
Not this torment that brings me to my knees
I’m standing alone amidst the crowd
I just wanted to make my mama proud
My breaths come fast and heavy
I’m trying to hold back the emotions like a levee
Until they all come spilling over
And the last thing I want is to remain sober.
