Trapped

by Carli   Jun 14, 2006


This feeling of suffocation
Is really getting to me
Tearing me down, trapping me in
I just can't take it anymore
I need to breathe
Stand back and take the time
To catch my breath
Stop trying to do everything at once
Eventually this will take me to my death
Am I supposed to change?
I can't physically please everyone at the same time
Emotionally and mentally, it's taken its toll
I need the time to sit down and fix what's mine
So sick of trying all the time
Do I make you happy, then me?
Everyone is holding me back
I'm drying out from this; it's driving me crazy
If I do this you get mad
If I don't do this she gets upset
I'm spinning in circles trying to think
I'm only a human did you forget?
It's humanly impossible
To be everywhere doing things all at once
So why can't they let me go, let me decide
I need to do something for myself
It seems the only thing to do is run and hide
There's nothing I can do
Too scared to speak out
I might go against their wishes
Look, I'm only one person, can't you count?
