It goes a little something like this...
Expectations (N. Kimberly S.)
Endless thoughts flow through your mind
In the late hours of the night
A side that you keep hidden from the world
Something that no one is ready to see
It's constantly screaming to get out
Sometimes it rips through the barriers
But you have to bottle it up
Because it's not what people expect from you
Keeping up the alias is taking its toll
You become lost in this fake identity
And you forget who you were before this
You were too busy trying to please everyone else
So now you've lost yourself
And you’re this person that people have molded you into
You tried to live up to everyone's expectations
But in the end, failed yourself
