Strands of Time

Class 10 : Ready To Surrender

I can't take it any longer,

I know I need to be stronger,

I'm trying to be dynamic,

Yet I keep finding the symptoms of an anaemic.

They are calling me dumb,

'Cause I can't do my O level sums,

My future appears bleak,

I'm afraid there's a leak,

Somewhere in my brain,

Tears are falling like the rain.

I keep gorging down information,

My only method for salvation,

But acursed mind is forgetful,

I keep making the same mistakes like a fool.

I'm going under,

The pressure is making me a blunder,

I'm ready to surrender.

But I don't want to lose,

Yet I'm feeling the noose,

Tightening around my neck.

It's so much easier to just let go ,

To just give up ,

To just let it all slip ,

To just ....oh I don't know anymore,

There are no more doors,

For escape at this stage,

I feel caged, it' getting harder to breathe.
