Grades slipping
Hearts skipping
Can't keep up with the rush
The pressure to succeed
The need to feel validated and important and at the same time freed.
I spend all my time sat amidst a pound of papers trying to find the hopeless answer
Need to memorize all the symptoms of cancer
Memorize the formula of how to find a tetrahedral
Need to memorize the location of the first cathedral
Can't seem to get my life straight and let go of all this stress
I am stuck an overachiever feeling a constant press
Chest caving in and brain overheating
I am supposed to be the next generation but I can't with this constant deleting.
