Pressure
Every generation
Receives more responsibility
It's like a race
An extremely sick race that you can't get out of
That society has created for us
Because countries force their children to be the best
So we won't get swallowed up
And make dumb mistakes
As if we need to know what an exponential function is
Or to memorize the periodic table
Homework increases
We lose time to be kids
Watch movies about children 20 years ago
And compare it to your own life
The differences are quite sad
The stress is building
And building
Until one day we’ll crack under pressure
We’ll be pushed too hard
Past our breaking point
Until we are useless
