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
