Nobody understands me...

The 26 year old me is growing up fast
the teenager in me is burning and charred
i feel the vibe is faint and pain crawling in
and my fervor to stand out is no more in
i write this with a lot of writhe
that's eating up my self from within

They say that i am a mistake
and all i do is take take take
plus my work is all messy and late
and excuses are all that i can make

but i m trying hard to avoid the stake
by working hard day in and out
to satisfy the needs of everyone
and to live up to needs before they are gone

in the process i forget myself
am i selfish? i dont know
but from within i feel hollow
cz i have nothing in store for my soul
and no time to get a hold
of my mind, and rare emotional flows

no one cares, no one even knows
how hard i strive to do
things that they want fast and perfectly too

but all i ask for is a little gratitude
some time off from this buzzing life
a few hours of leisure, which now is a luxury

i think thts too much to ask for
cz m supposed to stand all alone
as tough as a stone
a lone fighter in the marital zone...
