"Too Much Pressure"

Too much pressure,

I can't do it.

There you go,

I just blew it.

No edits in life,

You can't undo it.

You live to learn,

There's not much to it.

"Well, Damn!"

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate imperfection.
On a scale from 1-10--
10 would be my selection!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate all these flaws.
I believe in self expression--
Now, I'll fight for that cause!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a mistake.
So, I made the wrong choices--
Come on now give me a break!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a setback.
Now I have to push forward--
With everything that I lack.

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate this depression.
And you ask me if I'm fine--
Now that's a terrible question.

Damn, damn, damn!
I'm such a big mess.
I can't handle this pressure--
I can't take all this stress.

Damn, damn, damn!
I know God's got it all.
He will pick me back up--
Whenever I fall.

"Praying for Hope"

Stress so high--
That it's hard to cope.
Praying to God--
That I see some hope.

Stress so high--
That it brings me down.
But I look for hope--
When I turn around.

Stress so high--
And it continues to build.
Looking for hope--
To keep me fulfilled.

Stress so high--
And it's no wonder.
I sleep best at night--
When it rains and thunder.

Stress so high--
But I'm trying to cope.
Praying to God--
That He shows me hope.
