For Everyone
You try to be perfect, you always do
But is perfection something anyone can pursue?
Mabe you’re not reasonable, but you don’t understand
If perfection you want to reach, you’ll drive yourself mad
Why are they better? Why don’t you have that skill?
Even if you try, you can’t climb that hill
That hill of perfection and natural talent
Guess you aren’t really smart, why don’t you stay silent?
“You are quite intelligent”, “wow you’re a genius”
That spark you have lost, now you’re an inconvenience
“How are you so good at everything” sometimes they ask
The truth is you’re not, its all just a mask
You want to be in control, fulfill every task
That desire of excellence can’t be kept in a jar
It’ll eventually scape, and that is not bad
But i it hurts you this much, maybe something you lack
First it’s physics, it’s difficult and you can’t keep up
No motivation you feel, as you’re not in control
Before you could do it, before you were strong
But after all of those years, you are all turned to dust
All the stress, the pretending that everything’s fine
When it wasn’t and now your success just declines
Then came math, Spanish , now everything’s hard
You thought you were a natural, but you’re now all burned out
