Entry 038

Frustration is the emotion of the day.
I want to cry and let it all out,
I want to vent, 
And even though I know someone who would listen,
I can't vent successfully.

Grow up.
That's what you're supposed to do.
Everyone grows up one day.
They go to college,
Get a job, a career.
These are things I will do.
I don't know where to go, or what to do just yet;
It's unknown. I'm undecided.

It's not a crime to be undecided.
I'm under so much pressure.
They're slamming down hard on me to
Choose already, but I don't know,
I don't know,
I don't know,
I don't know,
Why can't everyone just leave me alone!?

Tears flow into my eyes.
I don't know. I just don't.
I don't know if I ever will know.
Apparently, that's a crime.

Do what you like, they say.
Whatever you like, make it your career.
I don't like anything.
I like to sleep. Eat. Watch TV. Simple things,
Mindless things
That can't be turned into careers.

I should know what I like, they say.
I should get my act together,
I need to figure it out,
I need to tell them so I can plan my future,
But I don't know.
I don't know, stop pressuring me already,
I don't know,
I just don't know,
GOD DAMNIT I DON'T KNOW.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
