Can I
The pressure that I am under to be PERFECT.... I feel like I’m suffocating from the expectations you have for me. I am a broken hearted woman.... I have my flaws and I have my downsides.... I’m scared because I feel the need to to be PERFECT... Can I make mistakes in your eyes... I am learning you hell I am still learning myself... I try but the disappointment in your eye tells me I have failed.
I am broken and trying to fix myself for the better. I am under pressure from the expectations that you have for me. Can I fail and learn again? I am only a broken-hearted woman.
I am stressed out about everything.... I am happy beyond measure but I am sad in its entirety... how can I feel this joy and pain mixed. I know it is supposed to be good times and bad times but Damn... this is hard... Am I strong enough for this journey.

I feel like I’m suffocating from the expectations you have for me. I love that line I think everyone has had that moment.

The pressure of life can often feel overwhelming. It is as if ones mind turns against oneself. I feel this poem captures this feeling well. One suggestion, don't forget to add a few concret images what is happening around the speaker. It helps to show the who, the what and the why. It helps develop a poem rather then just hearing the thoughts of a speaker.
