Do I want to be like this?

Constantly worrying about my future? Constantly worrying about my grades? Constantly worrying about my own mother disowning me?

Of course not!

I hate being like this.

But what choice do I have?

Who else can I be?

What else can I do?

I grew up like this.

This is all I am.

It's not like I have a choice.

"Is that a B on your test?"

"I was really stressed and tired. I wasn't in a go-"

I was sent to the floor with a hard smack on my head.

I held back tears as I looked up at my own mother.

"Good mood? You think a good mood is what gets you to a good college? Good grades do, you idiot!"

She slams the door on her way out, causing me to flinch.

I hate this.

I hate her.
