"Parent Pressure"

Choosing a college is a huge decision for a young adult
I knew I would have a lot of anxiety coming to the result

My parents were both absolutely no help at all
But even still I knew they didn't want to watch me fall

My mom is the type of person to pressure you a lot
It is her way or the highway, she has got the best plot
But she is a bit overwhelming and thinks about me not

My father on the other hand just wants my out of the house
Doing whatever I want except finding my future spouse

He hasn't asked me what I want to do or where I want to go
My mom won't stop asking me hundreds of questions though

She causes most of my anxiety, she's the problem without knowing it
When asking me so many questions sometimes I get into a fit
It also makes me want to give in, give up, and quit

But lately I've been thinking, this is my life, my path
With this decision though my mom makes it like a problem in math

I had to stand up for myself and just tell her what I wanted
But the thought of doing that kept me haunted

I went for it and told her my plan was different from hers
She told me whatever I wanted is what she prefers
Montclair here I come, can't wait for what occurs!
