She was an intelligent girl,
She enjoyed learning new things,
So you wanted her to excel in studies,
Stating that this would would result in her good being.
She toiled hard to be the best,
As you were never satisfied by her grades,
You replaced her toys, drawings
And novels with heavy books,
Chasing the joy of her childhood days.
She grew up as a bookworm,
Who studied all day long,
So everyone expected her to be smart,
And her answers to be never be wrong.
Soon she was exhausted,
Hiding behind her Perfect Student mask,
and her grades started to deplete,
Her health was ailing,
But her poor academic performance
Is what you could see.
She was stressed about your expectations,
And that she couldn't be the best again,
But you failed to realise
That the A+ in her MarkSheet,
Couldn't heal her slit vein.

PoetryI take requests and I am getting back into writing books. I'm starting this one cause I love reaching out to others who are dealing with the same problems. Leave a life and continue to read my book
