Don't
Tell me to be strong
The pressure on me
The expectations of me
Tear me
Apart

I try to stand
And yet I keep
Slipping
      Down
           Down
                Down

All I can hear is
"Be perfect"
"Be smart"
Be..be...be...
Know...know...know...
Know everything.

How can I know everything
When I barely know
Myself.

— The End —
