expectations.
We are raised to conform
Follow instructions like,
Hey,
Do this, do that
This isn’t good for you
If touch that you`d probably kill yourself. lol
From day one
We are told what is expected of us
Go to school
Get your grades high
You got to be the best
You can’t fail
Or you will live a poor life.
We put our fate
In the control of others
And wait to be judged.
Define ourselves with grades and numbers
That which makes us believe
We are not good enough
We live trying to prove ourselves
Day in day out
All because,
People expects.
Society expects and has its standards
Because our actions
Do not match their expectations.
