the pedestal

Claudia do this, Claudia do that. Claudia go to the gym because you're fat.
This is for all the people who I love and I like, and to the one's who couldn't sleep at night.

People expect us to do great things.
They place us on these pedestals.
It's a long way down.
People always want more from you
thinking that you can do it without a doubt.
If you fail to meet their expectations
you're a disappointment.
If you exceed their expectations their proud.
Why can't they just be proud about how hard we tried?
Other than shutting us out, calling us names, and acting like we died.
I feel like I'm taken for granted because I say yes.
But when i don't want to do something they asked they call me names.
There's a lot of things I want to confess.
But when I ask them to do something they say no.
Why can't people show gratitude and act the same?
