Expectations
I stood there, struggling to breath
I could not accept what was in front of me
The fact that I am never good enough
A pain that runs deep
All these expectations that are so hard to achieve
Everyone wants me to be who they want me to be
But why can't they just accept me for me?
Why can't I be me?
I know at times I can be stubborn
Sometimes I can be ignorant
And make stupid decisions while in the moment
But don't we all
And all these accusations about me
Stuff I could never do because it would kill me internally
I´ll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me
Just remember though, I am only a boy
A human being.
