Calm
I want to feel calm;
I would love to sit back,
And hold my life in my own hands.
I want to be independent
So I, and everyone else,
Can feel proud of what I've done.
Some days I feel like I've let you down;
Like I'm expected to be someone.
And I have failed you.
I cannot be calm
When I'm expected to be perfect.
I think it's time to quit,
Quit putting on a show.
I will not let you down.
I will let you go...
Then I will be calm.
