From 6:30 am to 11 pm
This life I'm living
Isn't mine
When do I get to be me
I'm not you
I can't do everything
So why do you expect me to?
This pressure I feel
It's unrealistic
When do I get to be me?
I'm not perfect
Don't expect me to be
Every minute planed
Every hour written up
All my time spent
What about me?
When do I get to be me?
This life I'm living
Isn't mine

If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.

The poem is about the restrictions my sister set for me
