I hate them and everything they stand for. FUCKING ASSHOLES! Why cant they just leave me alone to work out my own life? They are control freaks and everything must be met with their expectations of greatness and superiority. They only think of themselves and no matter how hard I try nothing seems to be good enough for them. Even if I got 100% it would still be looked upon as a fail and nothing would be said as they stared at me across the table thinking " What did we do to deserve that?" 'That' being me of course. Sometimes I just feel like walking right out on them. Opening the door and walking for miles just to get away from their nagging voices of what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. The key word there being MY. And now because I'm considered the failing child, my progress is checked upon and my school diary is read. Nothing gets by them anymore. The pressure and stress they cause will surely result in self harm. I look at my sister and see the way they look at her. Like she's a porcelain doll and an academic princess all at once. And to be truthful she probably is. All her work is always done she never fails a single subject. And what do I do in return? Fail. But why? Well maybe it's because of the overwhelming need to try and impress, to be noticed. Oh, and I do get noticed but not in the way that I had hoped. My 'hard work' and 'effort' is replaced with a never ending stream of complaints and lectures on how I'm not good enough. All my life I have tried to be what they wanted me to be, and all that time I hadn't realised that no matter how hard I tried or by how much I exceeded everyone else it would never be good enough. And now I sit here with no where to go and no-one to talk to and I wonder why people hold life in such good light. Why we even bother.
