Expectations


Hurry up, calm down

keep walking, head down

 

Don't stray too far, 

stay on par.

 

Color in the lines, 

have fun times

 

But now it's time,

to pay your fines.

 

You won't be heard,

but keep on board.

 

We fight with clause,

instead of claws

 

And use our minds,

to create change.

 

You can be,

whatever you choose.

 

Put in the effort,

and you will not lose.
