Pressure

There has been so much
Pressure on me lately.
Pressure to
Find a job,
Do well in school,
Take loads of tests,
Get my license,
Apply for college,
Go to college,
Decide my future.
So many things are being
Pushed on my.
And I can’t help but think
That I’m going to break soon.

I held you tight so many nights
when there were those monsters in my closet

You were always my hero in the stories mommy told
and you would rescue me from the dragons

Do you remember when we were younger and got married
and my brother Billy talked for you?
But I swear your stiched smile moved when
I said "I do"

Do you remember when I was 12 and Brenna came over
