How do I

How can I say I'm fed up

With how my day

Brings me down

Without seeming weak.

How do I remark on the things

That trouble me

And depress me

Without seeming like I'm just complaining.

How do I say

That I sit on the edge of my bed after waking

Hoping the seconds so that little bit slower

Before I start work

Without seeming like I'm asking for special treatment.

How can I break from the mould

From the grip and claw I find myself in

The one that keeps the smile from my face

Without risking the future of those I love

How do I tell those I love

Who rely on my strength

Those I must not fail

Without breaking down to nothing before them.

How do I

How do I
