My strength

You never knew
that you crossed the line
until you found me
in my room, crying

you've always pushed me
way too hard
you say I never do well enough
with the results on my report card

I'll sit at my desk
and study away
just trying to please you
is how i spend my days

you just don't know
how you make me feel
it almost seems
that this life isn't real

so why do I bother?
why do I even try?
this world only seeks perfection
but causes so many to cry

now because of you
I keep moving on
my life still continues
in the end, you kept me strong
