expected


today we are expected to not crack when the world is thrown right at your face 

we are taught history, science, English, Spanish,with many other options but there is one they don't teach that is  a very important one 

life 

they teach us to expect all good things to come to people who can do well 

but thats wrong 

but they need to teach us how to make a resume or what job we should get ad how to get there

they be more supportive and teach us how to handle the world when it is thrown right at us 

but no we are expected to figure it out on our own 

they teach like a mama bird push us out the nest and if we don't learn how to fly we will crash head first in the ground
