I can't be like someone else.
We all are made different.
Someone is good in studies,
someone in sports, someone in dance.
So, please don't try to make me
a all- rounder in everything.
When everyone is different
then why compare me with
someone else? Yes, someone can
get 92, 95 or more marks but I
know I am not capable for such marks.
Yes someone can get 97% in boards
but I know I cannot. You all don't
even know what happens to me because
of this. Whenever you compare me with someone else,
it feels like I am good for nothing.
I just begin to hate myself.
The confidence which I had before is now lost in me. I want
to participate in sports, take part
in elocutions, debates but if I do then
you all wouldn't even let one chance go of scolding me.
Sometimes I just feel stuck.
I never used to have anxiety attacks
but now I fear, I am afraid that if I
cannot score good marks then you would
scold me a lot and again compare me
with others who got more marks.
Moreover the emotional drama which I have to face at home.
Whenever I get some paper with not so good marks,
I start crying because I know the consequences
I would face at home.
Yet you both don't understand
what I am going through everyday.
