My friends say I'm perfect,
But they don't know what’s behind the grades
The “pretty”, “hardworking”, “talented” me,
A lot more is going inside then what you see
No one except God knows who I truly am,
Well, I’ll tell you who I am
I'm a girl who wants to be wild and crazy like a normal kid,
But can't because I'm expected to be a perfect little kid
I remember when I used to be an outgoing girl,
But for now, I hide in my shell
I used to like to hang out with friends,
But soon, that had to end
“Your cousins got straight A1s for their exams”,
“Your cousins got perfect scores for their A-levels”
My other family members raised the bars of expectations,
Little did I know, that had to be my expectations too
I wonder how long more I can keep up with this pace,
With all the pressure around me surface
I just want to live, humble and true,
Lord, please help me live my life for You
aah let this out for now and well the people who know me personally will probably never read this/know it's me but oh well God is the only One i need. :)
