"The weight of expectations"

"It's a bittersweet feeling, smiling through the pain, Laughing despite the depression that weighs you down like a chain. A life where exams are prioritized over children's tears, Where 'How are your studies?' is the only question that appears. No one asks about your heart, or how you're really doing, Everyone's too busy breaking it, with expectations accruing. A life where mental health is neglected, and emotions are suppressed, Where the pressure to succeed is suffocating, and there's no time to rest."
