Holding My Breath

I wake up everyday,
Not willing to get out of bed;
𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦,
𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥,
𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵,
𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

Anxiety fills my mind,
What will my parents think?
I'm dumber than my siblings,
Straight A's their whole life,
So now the expectations are on me,
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 & 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 .

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴,
𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩?
𝘠𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥,
𝘛𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘩,
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐'𝘮 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩,
I'm still holding my breath.
