The state of mind you end up in when all normalcy is stripped from you.
I can't do this.
I tell them again and again.
I try, and succeed, but not without cost.

I can't do this.
I tell them again and again.
I try, and succeed, but it's not good enough.

I can't do this.
I tell them again and again.
I try, and succeed, but they ask what's wrong.

I am tired of fighting.
I am tired of trying.
I am tired of being pushed.

I can't do this.
I tell them again and again.
They tell me to try, but this time I won't.
