get those straight a's
you tell me,
not thinking
about how
the weight of my world
is already
precariously balanced
on my small,
delicate
shoulders.
be the good sibling,
you say to me,
forgetting the fact
that my life is in shambles
but i must smile
with a smile
that doesn't reach my eyes
because it is
meaningless.
just do your best,
you assure me,
but i know that's a lie
because your best
is not mine;
your best
is what i strive for
everyday of my life
and i'm already
trying so hard.
