Can you relate?

Parents think they know us but they really don't know us. If they knew whats inside our library of a mind I would be a pessimist and say they will malfunction.  
 
If we tell them what we are going through whether it's school, break ups, or friendship they simplify it. If I'm carefree about studying they think its because I got lazy and they tell me to do the last thing I want to do...study.
 
What if I'm exhausted because, for the past 5 years I don't remember a break from school work, I'm broken from a friendship that ended, sad because I feel like I'm living under a mental prison, angry because I can't fast forward this aridity that shouts at me 24/7 and its a struggle putting every thing in a box and lock it so I could be numb. And when I finally get numb I don't give a fuck if I study or not. Especially for this kind of exam which doesn't test my ability. It's what the system designed. A design they know is frail that they don't want outside people knowing the questions after we take the exam.
 
If I'm close with a friend they think my friend is using me that I should be careful. They don't get how a friend can save your life, because to some extent they know what you're going through.  
 
The point is they don't get it. They really don't.
