Buried by Expectations

by MaanvinderPilania

am i not a child? i'm burdened with the expectations i haven't seen the world yet but i'm supposed to be a 'great wonder' "is it too much to ask?" they say while throwing words that leave wounds one second i'm their child and the next they wish to forget i even existed my blood boils whenever i'm compared with her, him and them for being too stupid i want to live with my own pace but the people i know won't let me heal
