Psychosomatic
Stress from trying to be something I'm not
An overachiever who knows anything and everything
Trying to fit into the crowd who will not accept the real me
How can I begin to accept myself?
Growing wary, psychosomatic even
I fall weak to the knees, everything turning blurry
I can't think straight
I feel like a knife's been through my mind
I wake up to feel sweltering heat
My sweat like beads on my forehead
I can barely utter a single word
I feel that my death is only seconds away
As I reminisce on the fake memories as my false persona
I start to shed away who I strived to become
To be the person who I was born to be
No longer hidden deep beneath me
