Expectations
Expectations
When life gives you lemons
The saying is make the lemonade.
But what if you don’t know how?
What if you’re too scared to?
Don’t want to?
Way to stressed out to?
But…
It’s just lemonade.
Why can’t you make the jump?
Commit to the idea?
Change your way of thinking
And swallow the lump?
Because you can’t.
Parents shake their heads,
You crawl into your room
And cry in your bed
Wondering why
Why am I like this?
Why am I suffering in the
Long dark abyss…
Of not wanting
To change.
But change is frightening and scary
And you don’t want to lose yourself
In this rarity
Of trying to be different and break
The status quo
Fighting and fighting
WOAH
To fast
Will it last?
You’re coming to a crash
Add it to the stash of
Broken…
Expectations.
