\&quot;Sometimes the worlds beats you down just to remind you that life is beautiful\&quot; <br /> \&quot;Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst\&quot;<br /> &quot;Dreams don&#039;t only have to exist when the sun is down and your eyes are shut&quot;

I can't stop shaking,
All of this stress is building up,
so high.
I don't know what to do.
I just want to sleep,
Just close my eyes,
Until everything is okay again.

I feel like everything is my fault.
Even though, it's mainly not.

All i want to do is break down.
Fall to my knees, and fall apart.
Or maybe I just want to run
Run so far,
That no one would know where to look.

I'm 17 now.
I can't just run from my problems.
I need to face them.
Stand up, and stand strong.
Realize,
That what I did was a mistake,
But I'm only human, and sometimes,
Humans make mistakes...
