Bars Set So High
Mistakes never made, lessons never learned
Promises often go unfulfilled, multiple bridges can’t help but get burned
Expectations set extremely high
Young adults who can’t help but arrogantly comply
But deep down they fear they can’t
From infancy greatness is expected of us
Pressure upon pressure forms a diamond but I’m afraid I’m just going to coal it here because the pressure is just a bit too much
Stressed by parents for reasons they don’t even know…but yet it’s so simple
When the dust settles people are still perplexed as to why such a great number of spectacular individuals failed to meet a predestined bar of potential
