Now Is Too Much

All you life, too many people has paved your future for you



Expectations of you have accumlated at a height towering your own self



Your life is not yours



Not yours to enjoy and live



And one simple, human mistake is magnified accompanied with ignorant, mindless ridicule



Now is too much



You're drowning in the evaluations of your limits



Terms and quotations engulfs your livelihood



But as you finally climb above the surface of examinations, another layer of brain-pealing analyzations topples over you



Now is too much



As you continue to build your foundation, the growing hinderence of those non-needed suggestions bombards the walls you have worked so hard to erect



The life you want



Is not in sight



Your decision to live it



Forever forsaken



Take pride in nothing



Not even yourself



You are forsaken



You later surrender



Surrender under you own walls



So let me be, because now is too much

Very well said. My belief, to live your life the way you would want it to be and follow your own dreams. Life is too short to live up to everyone elses expectations. Enjoy your life, it's your life after all!
