Expectations

i’ve disappointed 
a lot people in my life
i never lived up to 
the expectations of others
for what ever reason
i never really cared
the one person i wish 
i had disappointed
was me
i had no expectations
of myself
and i lived up to them

A bit of tongue in cheek here. You must be married, it is assured that we will disappoint our spouses from time to time. Congrats on your life time membership.
