Expectations

Why do we expect?
When finally we have to regret
Putting yourself in pain
And seeing things in vain

Expectations you are to fulfill
Whether be it against your will
To have someone you love
To their wishes you bow

But when something you want
The answer is ‘you don’t understand’
A voice from the heart
“Why do you withstand”

With hope you walk
About your importance you talk
But reality thrives
You are nowhere in their lives.
