I'm drowning in the pressure, can't catch my breath
They say I need to study, but I'm facing death
My mind is heavy, my heart is tired
But they keep pushing me, saying I'm required
I try to speak up , but they don't hear
My mental health is screaming, but they don't see it
I'm just a number in their game, but I'm not the same
They're forcing me to study, but I can't take the strain
I'm drowning in the darkness, can't see through all the pain
They say it's for my future, but at what cost?
If I am lost
I'm suffocation in their expectations
They don't see the damage, the devastation
I'm screaming for help, but they turn away
I'm just a puppet in their game
I'm reaching out for support, but they just shut the door
They say you'll thank us later, but I can't take anymore
I'm breaking under the weight they place
I feel like I'm going to die, if I continue this way
They're forcing me to study, but I can't take this strain
I'm drowning in the darkness, can't see through all the pain
They say it's for my future, but at what cost?
If I am lost
I won't let them define me, I won't let them win
I'll break free from the chains
I'll make my own choice
(My own choice)
Teachers, can't you see the pain I'm in?
Forcing me to study when I can't even begin
My mental health is crumbling, can't you understand
I'm not just a grade, I'm a person with a life
So teachers, please listen
Hear me out
Please, my mental health matters more than any number
So please have some empathy
Before it's too late
(Before it's too late)
