I get up in the morning

Get all dressed up and ready

The picture perfect person

With a beautiful little life

I sit all alone

But will achieve greatness

Because that’s what’s expected

I get all A+s

Anything less is a failure

I’m polite and quite quiet

The model student

And when school is over

And all extracurriculars are done

I go back home

Straight to my room

I take off the facade

I sit there and stare

I only eat at school

Just to be normal

At home I just sit

In the darkness and silence

Sometimes I cry

Others I scream

On occasions I cut

But don’t be alarmed

Everything is just

As it is meant to be
