People expect me to be great,
They expect me to do it right,
They expect me to get it 100%,
And if I don't, they'll stare and gasp.
They expect me to know things,
When no one really does,
They think I am perfect,
Which is very much a lie.
They expect great things from me,
When I don't really know,
That all I want to do,
Is to live my life as far as it can go.
They don't know that I just want to live,
Live life free of anything big,
Just to be happy in a life that is mine,
Without any expectations.

Thank EVA ~ Great Expectations ~ from our Parents ~ Siblings ~ Teachers ~ Employers can encourage us but they also put us under stress ! Like you I always give my best but it doesn't always live up to others expectations. I give talks in public places on once I overheard somebody say ~ We are in for a treat its BRIAN talking about Marie Curie and Radioactivity. It went well but their comment made me realise they had "Great Expectations". A very nice poem by the way (met my expectations !) thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
Expectations, yes we all have them, but like you said, "Just to be happy in a life that is mine" is what matters. I liked the poem, and like Brian said, it met my expectations. Thanks for the poem.
wonderful work Eva! peace ww
