"To Have A Worth"
We were born in this world with no fear or pressure
Back in the time when we have nothing to endure
No responsibilities, no expectations, and nothing to worry about
More time for ourselves, no wondering what's the right route.
But as we grew older and time passes by
Worries and problems increase along with the urge to die
We expect ourselves to grow fast because life is a harsh race
What we have and how far we've come is where our worth is based.
In life, to have worth you must be great
Shine in at least one field and maybe you'll have a high rate
Maybe people will treat you better and be kind
This is the world we're living in, a genuine person is hard to find.
You must have a pretty face or a good body
Be talented or have a lot of money
Have a good sense of humor or a fun personality
You must have high intelligence or be lonely.
Girls must look pretty so they'll find a mate
They must be a lady or they'll bloom late
Boys can't show their feelings for they are a man
Powerful enough to lead but emotions are banned.
We tried so hard to please others
We replace our natural self with all the plastic covers
We believe that their judgment will cause us happiness
But we know inside that insecurity only brings sadness.
The pressure of being not good enough is a stake in our hearts
We are a target board while our flaws are the darts
Darts that stab our confidence and bring doubt
It reminds us of the things we can't be, things we didn't have.
Even if I try to walk out of my box, the pressure pushes me back in
I don't know if being simple and not perfect is a sin
Why do I have to fight this hard to have a purpose in life?
When is it going to stop, the stress, the pressure, and the strife?
The saddest thing of it all is that experiencing pressure won't guarantee success
Working hard, and being diligent won't make you the best
This pressure is only weighing me down the rack
Instead of pushing me forward, the only thing it did was hold me back.
