The Pressure
November 17, 2016
Like being shined with a huge spotlight
Like being watched under a magnifying glass
Like knowing that there’s an eyeball staring you
To be perfect and outstanding
To make your parents proud
For being the first, the oldest
Of being great
To be a success story
To show people who ever doubted you
Have the security that my family will be fine
Show the example to my sisters
To make sure that I’m the first and I’ll be the first to fail
