I'm tired of being the failure
I'm tired of being the kid
I'm tired of being the monster
I'm tired of being the weirdo
I'm just so tired
I'm so tired of being hurt
I'm so tired of this shit
I'm tired of having daddy issues
I'm tired of school
I'm tired of loving like I do
It's unfair
I don't like being called a kid but even I can admit-
We're all pushing kids around my age a bit too hard
Someone asks why a prodigy like me has almost all F's and over 40 missing assignments?
Maybe because I wake up at 5am after not being able to sleep and fight PTSD and anxiety all day
Maybe because I have to keep fixing a smile to my face so I don't break down every single day
Maybe because I'm too tired to think
Maybe because I'm getting assigned 6 assignments from each class every day and the anxiety and the ADHD clash so I get so overwhelmed I get nothing done
Maybe because I always want to cry
Maybe, just maybe, it's not always our fault we can't keep up when the expectations are higher than we can reach
Maybe because my escape is worlds I make up that are so beautiful I never want to leave
Worlds with dragons and adventure
Worlds that are a million times better than mine
Maybe it's not our fault we were raised by people who weren't ready to parent
Maybe this is an issue that doesn't need to be one
Just, maybe.
