At school you must be…
You must be smart
You must be funny
You must be a jock
You must be “popular”
You must be one of them

At home you must be…
You must be obedient
You must be nice
You must follow orders
You must be perfect

In public you must be…
You must be clean
You must be neat
You must not embarrass the ones around you
You must be someone you’re not

But here
In the sweet silence of solitude
You can simply be.
Hi! I'm lili :wave:
o.k I've got 5 different projects due from 3 different teachers due at roughly the same time so excuse me if I don't add anything for a while.
:blackrose:
At school, everyone has there own clique they belong to
In public all I here is "don't embarress me."
At home, I'm constantly reminded of how I can do better. That I NEED to do better.
And my parents wonder why I like to be alone. This is why.
:blackrose:
sorry if I sound really emo, but I'm under a lot of stress.

Wow. Very nice. I can totally relate. Every bit of it is true.
It's too bad I hate who I am when I'm by myself. :T
