Teenage years
They say that teenage is the sweetest part of your life
Why do they lie when they know that it hurts like a knife
They say sweet sixteen
I say bitter sixteen
Parents say "You have nothing to worry about, so just study."
I wish they knew how we suffer daily
They say "You have good parents, you better make them proud."
I wish i can
I wish i could
Making my parents proud doesn't seem like a bad thing
But the process has so much suffering
"You're not good enough."
"You're nothing compared to her."
"She's so much better than you."
"She's so much prettier than you."
Oh God all the things they said
Is messing up with my head
Is it true though?
Am i really not good enough?
