As I sit I
ponder what it means to be
brave
honest
a good role model.
People throw these words around.
Lovely girl
bright future
always surrounding us
classy
respectable.
These words are not just words.
They're labels that people use
meant to build up our confidence but in reality
tear it down when we
fail.
And failure is inevitable.
No one can always be everything.
Can you be
a winner
future Olympian
Scholastic achiever
piano prodigy
allatonce?
Would these words not suffocate you?
allcrammedtogetherandleavingyounoroomto
step back. breathe.
No one, try as they might, can be
everything.
People aren't robots,
so stop expecting them.
