Pressure

How to deal with the situation
How to do things calmly, with many eyes on you
And without an idea of the solution
But well, they say diamonds aren't made without pressure
You manage, endure the pressure to be an engineer
Or the pressure of seeing your younger brother marry first
Or the pressure from the family, who sees you as a black sheep
Even thinks that to solve this, they should take you to the healer
And the pressure from aunts, saying you'll end up a spinster
So niece! You're already quite grown up
When will you get pregnant?
Find any man
Will you be able to live alone?
The pressure, of being questioned
How can you be a woman and not cook?
Or the issue of being less successful
Than your beloved
And being hit with rhetoric, like who's in charge at home?
You look at all areas of your life and feel pressure
Even from people who have passed away
That's called tradition
You may be fine in other aspects, they focus on your wound
Because until a certain age, there are things to be fulfilled
We're born with a plan, and an order to be followed
It seems that nowadays, you don't choose your own life
Yeah, the world pulls you into a dead end
And you're screwed if you don't tick off all the points on a list
And end up losing your essence trying to please all friends, all family
In a malicious society

But it's no use being strong in knowledge
And physically if you're not strong mentally
Sometimes everything is fine with you, ignore them and move on, it's just the way they found to pass on their own pressure to others

You're not the only one in this situation
We're all living under pressure yeah
Sad reality
And how to live freely
With everyone watching
Some even want to help
But the best way to demand is by helping
Yeah folks, it's not just about judging
Because there's no fun in this shit
The dramas I go through
You treat as comedy
You don't know that lives don't need to run parallel
Reaching 30 for one can be 50 for another
Oh, yeah yeah yeah

So much physical and intellectual beauty being hidden, for social acceptance
That was falsely defined
They pressure you with people unrelated to your life
Who don't know the power of a simple comment on Insta
Practice more empathy in your mind yeah
You have your life
I got mine
Each one decides what to do with their time
Sometimes we try to win time
But you don't fight against time
People always focus on your supposed failure
And forget the other good things you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

It's important to remember that my success doesn't translate to your failure
And vice versa
And we shouldn't hide our insecurities or flaws
That's denying growth
And we can't lose our human side in an analysis. We don't know what demons the other person is facing
And the most practical way to learn about respect
Is to remember that others' choices are none of our business
Look more at yourselves than at others
