Expectations

I can never meet them
                   They're too high

        Spoonfuls of dreams
        Shoved down my throat
        For as long as it takes them to stick
        It won't work

No breaks

AP classes
         Yale
              Harvard
                  Stanford
                       A+

                  Repeating classes
              Failure
          Disappointment
      Unac­ceptable
  F-

Can I please have a second to relax?

NO.
Keep working
You will be a star

I don't want to be.*
I can't be.
I'm too stupid.
