All eyes on me

I don't think I'm pretty,
I don't think I'm funny
And I know I'm not worthy,
But why is that all eyes on me.

I want to live as what I want,
I want to have genuine life and not a comedy that is full of rant.
Ever since I was young I'm doing my best I just want to be free and not best.

My family, my friend even strangers their eyes are on me.
I'm not a celebrity but why they need to watch me.
Yes I don't receive any achievements recently,
But instead of asking me they judge me.

Yes maybe I don't meet their expectations anymore,
But I'm not living just to fullfill their perceptions.
I feel guilty for my parents, yes I do, I'm starting to do things that is bad but I want to do.

I have things in my head that I don't want to pretend.
I want to stop hardships and just chill till the end.
But I realize that all the bad things that I know I almost do.

Building myself up again,
But all their eyes are still with me since then.
Judgments and commands that kills me.
Sharp stares that makes me wounded mentally.
Maybe I just need a blind optimism so that I can't see that their eyes are on me and live happily and be blinded by their criticism.
