The glare from your shiny new test book is blinding,
directing bright light of the fear you've been hiding.
Suffer yourself
but keep up your health
perfection's the only way out.
Wish you had Solomon's gift in you pocket.
Five little points would launch you like a rocket.
Do what you're told
and stay in the mold.
Don't let the beaten path beat you.
Too many choices and voices that break,
time's running out and there's too much at stake.
Screaming inside,
depression you hide
smiling makes everything better.
A second place ribbon makes you want to vomit.
One small mistake and you mind lingers on it.
Focus ahead,
the future you dread
The rest of your life starts today.
