What I see around me
is piling up
beside me,
around me,
everywhere I look.

The conflict,
the pain,
is the life I live.
With the giant mound of problems, there comes a breaking point.

I'm screaming and screaming;
it's building and building,
thrown at me
over and over.
This is not what I want;
please help me out of this hole.

What I see around me
is a world
that's too small to matter,
yet so big
that one small disturbance
can shatter it.

No one can really understand
what I'm going through.
They say they do
with a pat of the back,
but they don't know what it feels like.

It's too much to bear,
too overwhelming to see
what has happened to me
but it's there.

What this all comes down to
is just the suffocation
of all the world
crashing down on me.

I'm screaming and screaming,
and no one can hear me;
I need to let it out
somehow.

Please help to set me
free.
