We live in a world where a bad grade on a test
Scares us more than getting bullied

We live in a world where disappointing people
Scares us more than starving

We live in a world where losing someone
Scares us more than force throwing up

We live in a world where being imperfect
Scares us more than cutting

We live in a world where being called not good enough
Scares us more than thoughts of suicide

We live in a world where a math question
Scares us more than death

We live in a world filled with expectations
Expectations that we must meet

We live in a world thats so caught up about school and work
That no one notices when a person is sick

We live in a ****** world
I would rather die than breathe for 1 more second
