Just one kind word

My life, 

is a bottomless pit of expectations.

There are so many things

that people want from me.

And it's tiring.

My dad expects me to be perfect at sports,

My mom expects me to have perfect grades,

Today,

I told my dad about something I made.

I told him it was the second best in my class.

And I was proud of it.

But he said to put in more effort. 

Light and dark,

Dark and light.

Yin and yang,

Yang and yin.

Something comfortable in the uncomfortable,

And something uncomfortable in the comfortable.

I know it doesn't make any sense,
