Expectations

Do you know what I'm sick of? Expectations Expected to live this picture perfect life My life is not a post card I do not own a picket fence And if I did it would probably be black And broken But that's ok sometimes my life can be terrifying I spent 36 years trying to be someone I'm not Waiting for the Pat on the head of approval i never got What is it that I'm doing so wrong ? Why is it that my efforts are never quite enough ? So one day I decided No more My heart is good and my soul is kind This will help me sleep at night An overachiever my whole life But who for ? Who am I trying to impress ? It wasn't me Because all that ever did was make me miserable So I've dropped the act and this is now me If you don't like it then it's fine I seek no ones approval but my own You see I wasn't acting before That timid girls still in there But she deserves some peace To know that she's enough Not for anyone else But she's enough for me
