“Wow, you never ask for help
You’re mature beyond your years”
under all that calmness
My body’s full of tears
But in my mind is turmoil
I feel the pressure to be
Perfect and an adult
I can never not succeed
The pressures continue to build
No one knows the danger
I’m struggling to survive
Repressed is all my anger
Unhealthy habits are obtained
I’m looking like my dad
Waking up hungover
God, I’m feeling really sad
Grades are dropping quickly
Habits out of hand
I’m wishing I were dead
Can’t keep up with life’s demands
Maybe I should tell someone
Do they really care?
This is my responsibility
Adulthood has a fare
But then I had a breakthrough
In the white halls of the ward
The nurse sat me down and told me
Silence does not reward
It okay to ask for help
It doesn’t mean you’re weak
It is warriors who are outspoken
I do not need to be meek
Speak about your feelings
Don’t hide behind a smile
Just because your grown doesn’t
Mean there is pain in every mile
Adulthood is not a test
To see how much one can take
A person does not win
By working till they break
Now my mind is clear
Meds don’t mean I’m sick
Im realizing now
I can be one kickass chick
Finally I give in
My journey I shouldn’t shame
And through this I know
An adult I became
