Land of Expectations

Living in the glamorous, you haven't seen beauty until you come here. No one's unique just outsiders, to the people who are in it the people who aren't don't matter. Living and breathing the air of successors and opportunities if you waste your chances you will be left feeling bitter. The land of expectations No one's free from it's hold. It takes determination and experience in the world to really be known. A place full of excitement, No one truly sleeps. Day and night, living in the tall buildings and bright lights you don't exist if you don't look normal. Teased beat and left uglier than you once knew. Better conform fast or the dirt is where they'll leave you. It's not all terrible, just a million roses in a garden trying to grow and outshine each other. You'll have so much fun that you'll forget your past. Gripped into our world, dreams that someday Hollywood will come even though we despise it. Problems by the dozen but no one complains. Who would when you live in the land of expectations? Better pass, exams, life experiences, no one expects you to drown. Gasping for air, in a land of perfectionists... what matters most is that you get the grade you suppose to. But what if you don't, they'll fill you with lies leaving you with no hope. I won't conform, I won't drown, ill make my way even if it's not by regulation. What can a girl do but try to survive the world of Cliches in the land of expectations.
