When you're not quite sure who your friends are and you've lost all sense of time
It's easy to forget your purpose, sometimes it tends to slip your mind
All your emotions get bottled up until you cannot breathe
You're choking, gasping, reaching--for an escape to reality
Who cares if you're hurting? They think you're perfect
With your happiness and good grades, no one suspected anything
You laughed, smiled, flirted, and joked around, who would've known?
Maybe that's where you went wrong...
You stumbled under the pressure of doing your best
Sometimes it hurt to concentrate and your mind needed a rest
But you have to be perfect for everyone else, it's what they've molded you to be
You've learned to please others, and ignore all your body's pleas
It's tiring and frustrating when you start losing everything you once knew
The friends you thought were there, all began to slowly leave you
They tried to explain that you need to live your own life-not someone else's
You have to stop pleasing others and do something for your own good
You lay each night in bed, crying yourself to sleep, each tear would tell a story
Of all your hurt and fears, and they soothed away all your pain, and thoughts of happiness
Freed your mind of all destructive thoughts and leaving each fear behind
Soon you will realize, you must not let others mold you into a perfect mirror image
You try your hardest as it is, but it's ever good enough
So smile and push all the pressure away, and just be yourself today
