Peer Pressure
4 March, 2004
Author: LinzAy
Standing rigid as they move in close
I know they can smell my fear
Close my eyes and pray for help
But they continue to move near
A bead of sweat drops from my brow
A quiver races across my lips
I'm being surrounded, im about to be caught
My last hope is about to quit
All their hands reach out for me
Sharp nails scratch against my skin
I'm freaking out, i'm screaming out
Looks like they're about to win
The pressures of being the minority
The pressures of being different from everyone else
I dont want to become just like you
But i'm about to lose myself

| MartinV (67.28.90.24) -- Thursday, March 18 2004, 03:45 pm LinzAy Very well written, this is a sad, but common way of life for some. Although you advise us that you have never really, felt this way, I think it tells us something about yourself. You have the kindness of heart which allows you to express what you may see in the life of others and perhaps with your sensitive heart, you have spoken for them. Your words also, express a consideration for others that many do not have and I thank you for reminding us, others are not as blessed as we may be and with your stated compassion, perhaps, more of us who read this work, will be. Very nice work! MartinV |
