How hard do I push myself?

How much energy can I give
before I fall apart?

A muscle in my leg
protests the movement
as I hit the floor

The bruise on my knee
grows bigger each day

Each day I break even more

Sometimes I don't want to talk about how I feel.

Sometimes I just want to be left alone.

Sometimes I don't want your help.

Sometimes I want to push through all on my own.

my restless knee bounces
up and down
up and down

trying to control the adrenaline
pumping through my veins

my natural instincts telling me
that this is scary
I need to fight or run away

but I'm in class

I lay in my bed each night,
just staring at the ceiling.

Something doesn't feel right,
I just can't stop thinking
about all the things I've ever done.

I can't stop watching 
the dominoes falling.

America,
why do you 
always shout?

Why are you
always fighting
against yourself?

America,
everything isn't
black and white.

America,
would it kill you
to meet in the middle?
