true feelings?

Work hard, we want a child bright
Study with all your might
But how do I tell them, each day, is a mental fight.

You said I was a disappointment
Now I'm just waiting for my next appointment.
All you do is dictate
Because of which I have to meditate
In order to regulate.

I try to be happy
But I come out as snappy.
I want to love my life
But I sometimes feel like picking up a knife.

Each day I have to mask
And that's the most difficult task.
With each day passing by, I am more disturbed
But I have to pretend I am unperturbed.

I am in enormous pain
It's like around my neck is a tight chain
And it's driving me insane
But all my efforts of getting better are going in vain.

I need someone to say I belong
When I feel I am wrong.
And when I feel weak
I only need you to speak.

My heart craves love
I need someone to give it like a selfless dove
But the one I love, only knows to shove.
So now I take my broken heart
And turn it into art.
You made me smile
And if you gave me an inch, I would run a mile.

I wish my life to end
Perhaps I only need a friend
To whom I could vent.
Now I just pretend
Silently wishing I were dead.

Note: Hey readers, I hope y'all are doing well. Maybe it's been long since anyone asked you. So here I am, asking you,
How are you feeling lately? Have you been eating well? I hope you've been getting enough sleep. Just please take care. Okay?
Also, I am not someone who uses rhymes in my poems, but I don't know, last night, the rhyming words just flowed out when I sat down to write. It's my first time trying rhymes in an entire poem. I hope I did an okay job.
