I live my life the way I know how
But maybe I need a lesson
On how to live well.
I try to be the strongest
The one who will always be around
But I don't know how to handle these emotions anymore.
I know who you want me to be,
You want me to be sensitive,
but I am a machine.
Doing what is expected of me,
The good and the bad,
I can't do what you want me to,
I'm already on overdrive.

I can appreciate this write, but I would have liked to see just a bit more imagery within the words.

Interesting write here. Seems like someone is trying to control you but you won't let them. Good expressions of your emotions here. Best of luck in the contest.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the comment.
I guess you could say someone is trying to control me for the fact that many people want me to do so many things, but i'm not going to get into that.
Thanks again,
