Against a mountain

How I felt about 10 years ago while in school. I spoke to a cousin yesterday whose a Junior college, going through something like this.

I'm feel like I'm pushing up against a mountain
Tears flowing behind my eyes like a fountain
My struggles are breaking me down
My smiling face now a weak frown
She broke my heart, I thought she was the one
I'm about to be fired at work, I'm done.
I can't believe I'm so behind on school work
I feel like I can't catch up, life is being a jerk.
Daddy has cancer and Grandma just died.
I'm tapped out, my brain fried.
Sometimes I feel like I want to quit.
Nah, I can't, I fight back when I'm hit.
I feel alone, in a dark place.
Wearing a mask daily to hide my real face.
I can't really say if I'll ever get out.
I have so much bottled up I want to just shout.
Poetry is ticket to salvation.
It keeps me going, a good sensation.
I keep hearing "Ain't no mountain high enough"
I want to keep going, try to stay tough.
I get heart palpitations
As a result of my frustrations
I need to get away, this life party is getting whack.
I won't quit, I'll just be back.
