I just can't relate,

Voices in my head whispering,

“Nothing will change.”

I don’t want to hear it again,

Shut it out—it's too loud,

Driving me crazy,

Judgment on me daily.

No way to escape this heavy weight,

I didn’t need the judging or a lesson to take.

Maybe I’m doing my best,

Overloaded by stress,

But you only see the mess,

Like I’m just less.

Another stick in the mud, just another line read,

Don’t waste your time; I’m better off instead.

I’m tired of the whispers, tired of the fight,

Chasing down the shadows that haunt me at night.

No way to escape this heavy weight,

I didn’t need the judging or a lesson to take.

Maybe I’m doing my best,

Overloaded by stress,

But you only see the mess,

Like I’m meaning less and less

I’m breaking these chains, finding my voice,

In the silence, I’m learning to make my choice.

No more drowning in doubts, no more hiding away,

I’ll rise from the ashes, I’m ready to play.

No way to escape this heavy weight,

I didn’t need the judging or a lesson to take.

Maybe I’m doing my best,

Overloaded by stress,

But I’m ready to be more,

I’ll open that

I just can't relate, but I’m finding my way,

Learning to embrace each and every day.

No longer a stick in the mud, I’ll break free,

Finding strength in the chaos, just being me.
