Expectations
Normally we all expect to rule the world
We expect to be the best since we were all big-eyed children
Astronauts, Teachers, Kings, Queens
Yet at the end of the day we are only expectations
Dreams.
Smart
Until ranked
Beautiful
Until standards change
These are the expectations of society.
We are all drifting leaves in the barren tundra of life
We expect to be a tree when we are just a simple leaf apart of a bigger process
It depends on whether we believe are a branch, a twig, or a leaf
Does it matter?
If we all fall off the thick, twisted trunked tree in the end.
Do we reach the sun or do we stay in the green filter caused by others that prevent us from prospering
Or are we all really just planted in a place and meant to stay there
Perhaps it is just another cloudy day until a clear sky shows you other wise
Or is that just another expectation of ours to have this hope?
