Guy In The Mirror

He looks at me and says: 'Don’t ever cross the line'. His face is dark and tensed, there’s confusion in his eyes. I step away, my heart is pounding in my chest. This happens all the time, my mind’s reacting. Who’s gonna tell me I won’t fail again? Nobody is. I’m sick of people telling me not to worry. ‘Cause that’s all I do, can’t stop. Sometimes I feel okay, sometimes a nervous wreck. I’m fearing shadows on the wall, I'm seeing things that are not there. Expectations kill the best side of me. Responsibilities that I can’t handle. Sometimes my thoughts are taking over | my future is uncertain. I loose control but can’t fight back | I have to go to work. It is exhausting and it scares me | I won’t make school this summer. Can’t find the strength to make it stop | People think I’m a jerk. Who’s gonna tell me I won’t fail again? Nobody is. I’m sick of people telling me not to worry ‘Cause that’s all I do, can’t stop.
