Expectations

in a life
full of grief
expectations is all you need
to help push you through the day

something everybody is willing to give
but nobody's willing to live
in the heat of time 
everybody's ready to chime

in every aspect
you'll be wrecked
by all the expectations
and their dictations

don't worry
if everything is blurry
for theirs always a sunny day 
if i must say

even if your hearts at bay
let it come back to the day
where your life will be yours
and you wont have to war

because in a life 
full of grief
expectations is all you need
to help see the light of another day

This is very well constructed! I like this part especially: in every aspect you'll be wrecked by all the expectations and their dictations
