You expect so much from me
You expect too much from me
I don't know how long it will take to make you realize that
I can't be the person you want me to be
I can't be the smartest
The prettiest
The most efficient
Or the hardest working person you expect me to be
I can't do all of that
And the fact that you're disappointed that I can't live up to your great expectations
Makes me feel like you won't continue support me
When I'm not the smartest
Or the prettiest
Or the most efficient
Or the hardest working person in the room
And maybe it's because you don't know what it's like
To be under so much pressure
From every single person around you
But the least you could do
Is try to understand what I'm going through
And if you can't even do that for me
Then what can you do for me?

I'm having a really really really stressful week with finals starting tomorrow and I just really needed to vent
