Confession of a 15 Year-old

32 11 3
                                    

For 15 years
I've pretended to know
To know where I'd want to go
To know what I'd want to do

Now I'm done
I'm so sick and tired
Of pretending
That everything's fine

These walls that I've built
They're starting to suffocate me
Leaving me breathless
Without a light in sight

I'm lost, afraid, trembling
Clueless of the path
This pain I feel
Is greater than the burden the world gives
