To others I am perfection
But all I see is pressure
To rise meet the expectations of others
A burden I created
By being the best I can be
To fulfill my household duty as the obedient daughter
Doing whatever my parents deem, being there just to please
Forgoing precious time for absolutely nothing
To be god, raised on a pedestal as an older sister
Just the right mix of naughty and nice
Guiding but still letting the lesson be learned
To act as a high-ranking martial arts student should
The epitome of the art, perfection
Every move scrutinized, every word judged
To finish all the inane tasks
Random letters to unknown relatives
What’s the point? I’ve never met them
To secure my future, an Ivy League school
Ace my classes, AP and honors
Sat Prep to beat the test
My world is amazing
But I cannot call it my own
I have everything I don’t want
Living under the will of others
Called me spoiled, call me ungrateful
But still, sometimes I wish I wasn’t me
But all I see is pressure
To rise meet the expectations of others
A burden I created
By being the best I can be
To fulfill my household duty as the obedient daughter
Doing whatever my parents deem, being there just to please
Forgoing precious time for absolutely nothing
To be god, raised on a pedestal as an older sister
Just the right mix of naughty and nice
Guiding but still letting the lesson be learned
To act as a high-ranking martial arts student should
The epitome of the art, perfection
Every move scrutinized, every word judged
To finish all the inane tasks
Random letters to unknown relatives
What’s the point? I’ve never met them
To secure my future, an Ivy League school
Ace my classes, AP and honors
Sat Prep to beat the test
My world is amazing
But I cannot call it my own
I have everything I don’t want
Living under the will of others
Called me spoiled, call me ungrateful
But still, sometimes I wish I wasn’t me
