Suicide Songs: Sunday

Suzzie's still dressed up in what passed as her Sunday best
Studying for tomorrow's math test
It's a lot of pressure when you're suppose to be a prodigy
When you're expected to make your mark in history 
When your expectations can't possibly result in reality
Except their not your expectations
Your work and success don't bring you feelings of elation 
Quite contrary your dreams are being suffocated 
You're in your home, your room but you still feel dislocated 
Like nothing's real
You don't know what to feel
You don't have the best dress 
But score the highest on every test
But that's not you or who you want to be 
But somehow no one else notices or sees
Your parents are so proud 
Your friends cheer so loud
But you can't get anything less than an A
You have to study so there's no time to play
It's all too much you're going to snap
The empty pill bottles fall on your lap
She didn't know her parents would still love her if she dropped out of school
That her friends didn't care if what she wore wasn’t so cool

How does that make you feel?
