Let Me Be Relieved
Let Me Be Relieved
I am suffocating
and I just need to breathe.
I'm smothered under pressure;
I must be relieved.
Nothing I do is right,
nothing they say is fair.
I cry and I scream and throw a fit,
but no one seems to care.
Nobody will listen
to what I have to say.
My life is not important,
yet I'm living everyday.
I can't do what I want,
I can't stay out late,
so here I sit and write this poem
to release my pain and hate.
I'm confused and I'm alone,
I'm lost inside my mind.
Nobody will look beyond my looks
to see what they might find.
So many thoughts confuse me,
feelings I can't perceive
in this time of adolescence,
and I just need to leave.
None of it makes sense,
none of this seems real.
No one understands
the emotions that I feel.
I'm still suffocating
and I still need to breathe.
I'm smothered under feelings,
Just let me be relieved.
