The one thing I hate
can't always live up to them
but expected to anyways

The one thing I despise
But the other's desire
for me to reach it

*******, standards!
You cause depression and anxiety
Cause us to push too hard

*******, standards!
You cause panic and suicide
Cause us to die too early

You cause people to bully
You cause unending sadness
You cause me
to cry
out in
pain

Pain of disappointing people, Standards!
Pain of losing love, Standards!
Pain of losing me, Standards!

This is what you cause!
Stop throwing yourself upon me!
Just stop, Standards!
Just stop...
