🦋My Silent Battles🦋

by anonymous

By Agnes NyambuPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

It's not the pressure that keeps me awake that destroys me

But the silent expectati0ns that await me

The pressure and pain is building up and I d0n't think I can take this with0ut giving up

I try t0 be calm and still but my tears aren't drying up

They say fake it till y0u make it but I just can't take it

When everything g0es against y0u it's like y0u have already lost it

H0me is where I find peace and that's where I want to be

But when its far fr0m me I feel like I d0n't live

I questi0n my existence 'like why am I here?'

T0 be killed by the pressure 0r t0 die in silence as there are expectati0ns t0 adhere

I will s00n be d0ne with my life here

I can't say its near but I kn0w I will persevere

Till then I h0pe t0 find peace everywhere m0stly in myself maybe that's h0w my s0rr0ws will disappear
