Whatever you say
I'm up to the task
I try but I know
I'll never be good enough
Realistic expectations,
Is that too much to ask?
Must be the best,
Nothing less
Than perfection
In everything I do,
I do it all for you
No room to fail with these 'expectations'
With every cut that's red,
With every bruise that's blue
I'll fall apart for you
For 'expectations'
With every tear I shed,
With every mask I bred,
There's nothing to be said,
I'm suffocating
The high bar has been set
There are goals to be reached
I can't stop until death
Either yours or one for me
