Heavy Blanket
I feel it
That heavy blanket of despair
It lies on me
Forcing me to push harder
To force every motion
It makes me tired
I feel slow and drained
Everything is difficult
I need to pretend to be okay
I'm the perfect one
I have expectations to meet
I need to be happy
I need to smile
I need to help others
I am not allowed to
Be anything but 100%
Because nobody can see
The heavy blanket covering me
So I put on my happy face
And force my way though the day
I have no other choice
I'm the perfect one
