Pressure (cubed)

To be perfect,
To be happy,
To be everyone's best friend,
To be everyone's shoulder,
To be smart,
To be confident,
To be affectionate,
To be professional,
To provide,
To graduate,
To plan for the future,
To be the clown,
To break the silence,
To keep the peace,
To say thank you,
To say you love it,
To go for the gold.

When's the right time to be vulnerable?
To be afraid,
To be naive,
To be lonely,
To be cold,
To do nothing,
To fail,
To be angry,
To be lazy,
To quit,
To stay quite,
To take what you want and leave,
To tell everyone to fuck off?

My take?... The world would be a better place if we allowed some time for all those things. None good, none bad. They just are.
