With soap and water
And a little bit of wind
A bubble starts to form
Like how family and friends
Make me who I am
My parents
Have high expectations
But I disappoint them
With my bad grades
Like how a bubble pops
And stops soaring high
Sometimes the wind blows
And the bubble flies into one’s eye
The sting starts to spread
Creating too much pain
Like how life can have misery
But most times
Life is colorful

i love how you mentioned disappointing your parents with bad grades, and then adding the line about how sometimes after bubbles pop they'll get into somebody's eye (obviously somebody who's watching the bubble) because it gives more of an image to that to be able to imagine how somebody's like breakdown, or problems, affect those around them !!
