Expectations

Expectations

These expectations are thrown on me,

as if i should fulfill them all

Everyone yells and screams at me,

that all I'll ever do is fall

 

I fear that everytime I try,

each attempt will have its flaw

They are only hypocrites,

I am torn by their claw

 

I cannot be what you want,

for that I apologize

Hate me for what i am,

for I have no disguise

 

Why can't I be smart,

or want a real career

This is all they ask,

while they scold and sneer

 

This Misery comes back again,

back with open arms,

I've fallen so low again,

vulnerable to all harm

 

Can I not do anything right,

will I always be so wrong

I try as hard as possible,

to find i am not strong

 

Expectation, you have won,

so kill me one last time

Merry go round til' the earth fell down,

My life no longer sublime

 

Disappoint and destroy is all I can do,

all that I've ever done right

So for this very last time,

remove me from your sights

 

You only speak to tear me down,

and tell me not to try

So watch the effects of your anger,

while i wither away and die

Goodbye

Connor you are getting better at writing everyday. You always seem to impress me with what you write. This was deep and we relate in many ways. Ill see you at school and if you wanna talk don't hesitate.

Wow. The ending... Wow. That's so amazing. I love that your able to express yourself and manage to get rhyme in there. I know how you feel too
