Answer In My Fist

How much of me is there
how long before I am done
I lay awake so often
I feel small in my skin,
my boots are too big,
my sleeves too long.
The air in my life smells bad
and I breathe in way too much.
I can't see what I should
I don't hear the right things
It hurts me to try to stand so tall
How much do they want

I have an answer in my fist
just for them.

Feelin' the pain and frustration with this one...  Haven't we all been there?  On a technical note, you might want to substitute  "to" with "too".
