Difficult

Don't look at me like that,
Sidelong glaces, curious eyes

What may seem simple to you,
For me is proving difficult,

Don't speak at me like that,
Patronising, 'understanding'

Just because I'm struggling
while you are moving forward,

Don't put me down like that,
'no ambition', 'make some progress'

It's like I'm standing on the brink,
Behind your chanting 'Jump'

Don't feel for me like that,
Worrying for me, 'Are you lonely?'

Let me enjoy my selfish ways,
Enveloped in depression, isolated.
