Am I okay?

Should I give up?
Trying her best, but it isn't enough.
Giving it her all, but it isn't enough.
"Is that all?"
"Can't you try harder?"
"Do more!"
All these meaningless opinions 
effecting me, barging in.
When will it go away?
Sleepless nights, silently crying. 
When will someone listen and not judge me?
Can't they let me be ?
Can't stop my thoughts from being clouded by such things.
Should I give up?

Me

A girl silent as a flower 
Never could be prouder
Never lost, always loved
Always mistaken, taken for granted
Careless and carefree
At most, clever and yet so anxious 
Truthful but never enough 
Here and there, never stopping
Yet she stays an unemployed babysitter

That Question

What I love about school?  
School is… yea.  
Through trench-like conditions,
 where survival is suffocating.  
On the outside, education is key. 
On the inside, it is an episode 
from the last day on earth, where popularity determines your success in school,
not how smart or educated you are.  
But… there are those rainy days, 
when we huddle up in groups like little penguins, seeking warmth, connection, feeling.  
Those days are nice. Comforting.
