Pressure
Under the weight of immense pressure,
I stand tall, trying to be a defector
But it's not easy, I must confess
The force pushing down, it's hard to suppress
Every day I fight, trying not to cave in
But I can feel the weight, digging under my skin
The expectations and demands, they never cease
I try to keep up, but it's like a never-ending race
The world is on fire, chaos all around
And in the midst of it, I'm struggling to be found
The pressure, it's suffocating, it's hard to breathe
But I can't give up, I need to believe
I don't know how I'll ever make it mine
To conquer the pressure, to make it align
With my dreams and goals, I strive to achieve
But it's a constant battle, one I can't leave
The pressure is trying to weigh me down
But I refuse to let it push me to the ground
I'll rise above it, I'll break through the mold
And emerge stronger, with a story to be told
In the high grass, I navigate carefully
Patrolling the plantation, I must remain wary
For any slip-up, could lead to my downfall
I must be vigilant, I must stand tall
But even in my moments of solitude
I can't seem to find rest, I'm always pursued
By the pressure, it follows me everywhere
A constant companion, that I can't bear
I try to evict all the demons that haunt me
But they cling on, refusing to set me free
They whisper doubts and fears in my ear
Making the pressure even harder to bear
But I won't let them win, I'll fight till the end
For I know that nothing is to remain the same in the end
I'll break free from the chains of pressure
And emerge victorious, with newfound pleasure
For I am strong, I am resilient
I won't let the pressure make me obedient
I'll bend but I won't break, for I am not weak
And with each passing day, I'll continue to seek
The strength and courage to stand my ground
And not let the pressure keep me bound
I'll rise above it, like a phoenix from the ashes
And carve my own path amidst the clashes
So, let the pressure keep coming, I'm ready to fight
For I know deep within, I have the might
To overcome any obstacle that comes my way
And turn the pressure into my greatest display
In this world full of pressure and strife
I'll carve my own destiny, I'll create my own life
For I refuse to let the pressure define me
I am in control, and I'll make it mine to see
So here I stand, ready to take on the world
With my head held high, and my spirit unfurled
I'll embrace the pressure, for it has made me strong
And with each passing day, I'll continue to belong
To myself, to my dreams, and to my will
I'll overcome the pressure, and I'll make my own thrill
For in the midst of immense pressure, I have found
The courage and determination, to make my own sound.
