Crushing

Crushing

Every morning I see my dreams fading
As I awake

Scattering in the blowing wind
Vanishing like dust

My accomplishments define me
Even when they're fake

It hurts to witness dying dreams
Without comforting success

Everyday I feel the pressure rising
It is the expectations of enormity

The burden of my future greatness
Is grave and crushing me

It is time to sleep
But I am too terrified to rest

I do not know who I am
If tomorrow I wake
And find
I am not the very best
