I want to disappear
From staring faces
I want to vanish
Leaving life's traces
Under my rock
I want to crawl
Into a safe haven
I want to fall
The pressures
I cannot cope
It's suffocating
My dreams and hope
Little chunks of me
Taken from many
The strength to stop
I don't think I have any
The words I speak
Are unheard or ignored
I'm being pulled
By an invisible cord
I need to be assertive
So people hear my voice
That all in my life
Is my very own choice
I know what I must do
The climb will be steep
Until courage joins me
I'll just hide and weep
