Is this all you care about?

Just grades?

Do you not care whether I'm struggling?

Do you not care that I'm becoming depressed?

Do you not care that I'm hurting on the inside?

Why is it that you only care where those two points went in the 98?

Why is it that you never ask whether I'm okay?

Even when you do, you don't care about what's hurting me

You don't want to listen

You don't want to understand

You just want to see the grades

Don't you understand that grades don't define intelligence?

Don't you understand that you have to fail to succeed?

You can't just say things to me without thinking about it

I understand that you don't want me to suffer

But I still will have to suffer, it's inevitable

Why do you do this to me?

That's just how you are

But I still love you mum.
