The Girl Thats Tough

by Jess   Oct 21, 2011


I'm going somewhere,
somehow, someway.
I'm gunna be somebody,
someday.

Today, I'll try my best.
Even though, I'm such a mess.
I wont let nobody see,
that I'm slowly falling to my knees.

I cant handle all this stress.
I don't want them to think of me any less-
but I'm so sick of trying to impress.

I'm hoping one day this stress will ease,
and I'll be able to finally breathe.
As for now I'll just smile, and hope It's enough.
Cus' I'm so sick of being known as the girl that's tough.

    This is very lyrical and charged with emotion
    A refrain, so to speak, of a familiar theme

    Really good, Dont lose hope and faith.

    But don't try to pretend that you are happy, that will only hurt you more.

    Try to be happy but not by pretending. Its hard, I know but everything is possible. 5/5

    "I'm going somewhere,

    ^ I think we all say this to ourselves at some point so I am sure many readers will relate to this stanza

    "Today, I'll try my best.
    Even though, I'm such a mess.
    I wont let nobody see,
    that I'm slowly falling to my knees."

    ^ For me this was the most emotional stanza as it sopke about hiding. About not letting people see you slip. Very well put.

    "I cant handle all this stress.
    I don't want them to think of me any less-
    but I'm so sick of trying to impress."

    This is the stanza that really spoke to me the most because I think there comes a time in everyones life when they become sick of trying to win approval. I know this is the stage I am at in my life.

    "I'm hoping one day this stress will ease,
    and I'll be able to finally breathe.
    As for now I'll just smile, and hope It's enough.
    Cus' I'm so sick of being known as the girl that's tough."

    ^ An excellent ending that is relatable and powerful

    5/5
