Double Standards
The expectations given to me I
have not met
Unlike others I can't always
forgive and forget
Like the time you said whole
heap of lies to me
And you wonder why I have an
issue with honesty
I haven't quite met up to your
dreams
But all that glitters is not as it
seems
Like the time you made me feel
so unworthy
All those times I cried out, I
suppose you never heard me
You never understand until you
experience the same
Then suddenly it becomes
acceptable-you sound so lame
Like the time when I became
lost in the crowd
But to air my concerns,
somehow it's not allowed
But lo and behold if you was to
feel lost too
You expect a fuss and to be
molly cuddled too
Like the time I explained my
true fears
Why ask if you don't like what
you hear
Like the time when you said
you're always here for me
Hello.........I'm still waiting for
your company
Maybe I'm looking at the glass
half empty
As the things said don't
manifest to be
Could I be too analytical so that
I don't understand?
Like the joker in a pack you've
dealt me your hand
