I don't think I can go on.
I feel so helpless,
Not in control of my own body,
Of my own being.
I am suffocating
Under the mounting pressure
To impress the crazed insatiable appetite
Of the future.
I can feel my lungs
And,
More importantly,
My heart
Being crushed by my boulder
Known as life.
I cry for help!
I go unheard,
Unnoticed,
Unseen,
Ignored.
Not important enough
For people to care about.
So I go under the radar,
Pretend my problems don't exist
And,
Though this pressure is killing me,
What can I do but
Soldier on?
Giving up is not an option!
Quitting is worse than death,
Death is worse than struggle,
Struggle is worse than success,
Success is impossible.
I am stuck in a rut,
Begging for help!
No one comes.
No one helps.
No one cares.
Who am I to deserve such treatment?
Am I a bad person to be treated thusly?
Should I just stop,
Turn around,
Take a different path,
Quit my dreams?
I can't make it
On my own!
But I have no choice.
No one wants to help me.
No one thinks I'm worth helping.
The few people who do care
Don't know what to do.
They do more harm than good.
I am in this alone;
Screaming for someone's aid and
Getting none.
I want to quit,
Throw in the towel,
But I can't.
I have to
Soldier on.
This is a battleground,
A fight for my future
Against the tumolt and obstacles
Standing in my way.
Why should I fight so hard
For something that I don't deserve,
Something that I'm not
Right for?
Something that maybe shouldn't be mine?
Am I so stubborn that I can't admit
I made a mistake?
Everyone is against me on this.
People who are supposed to help
Scoff me as they walk by,
Say that I don't deserve it.
But I don't understand why.
Am I not a person
Deserving of an opporotunity
As every other person is?
Why am I so different?
I feel as though I am
Walking to a mine:
Treading slowly,
Aware of my impending death.
While I should stop and turn around
I soldier on.
Please tell me what you think

Great job explaining your feelings. Emotional imagery is good also. Flows well. Do you have anyone you can talk to either at home or on here like an AP family to help you get thru this?: You sound like a very strong person but sometimes talking helps. I'm here if you need me. Can I ask your age?
