Have to be perfect
to remain respected
contain role model act
to keep things intact
to the extent
depression sweeps u off your feet

Pressure overwhelming
expectations increasing
connections leaving
Self-esteem decreasing
tears overflowing

Surrounded by strict boundaries
Restricted by bitter rules
Left to feel like a reject

Must maintain vigilance
while brothers & sisters proceed to be ridiculous
Friends act villainous
required to be pure
but everyone else is full of
w i c k e d n e s s

Perfection is an obsession
&
Creates so much tension
For all the ones given this expectation
