It drives me insane,
makes me in pain,
feeling my life going in vain,
there are screams I cannot contain,
this is all too much for my brain.

I want to run away,
I can no longer stay,
this is a role I cannot play,
I must have a say,
I hate how my life always turns grey.

I no longer know how to behave,
I can no longer swim with the wave,
there are important things I need to save,
a path that I need to pave,
I need to be brave.
