Suffocatin

(by Marion Distante)

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 scream and throw a fit,
But no ont seems to care.

Nobody will listen,
To what I have to say.
My life is not important,
Yet i'm living every day.

[I can't do what I want
I cannot stay out late]
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.
[No one will search 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.
And noone understands
The emotions that I feel.

I'm still suffocating
And I still need to breathe.
I'm smothered under feelings
Let me be relieved.
