Self-Expectations

Unexpected expectations are made
within a single night,
With the glitter outside.
We accept them 
without seeing the falsehood
they bring inside.
Get broken unknowingly
and leave us 
having a tough fight
with the void in mind
of the cells they grind.
We know everything 
and still act blind.
Is it because we are compelled
to get through the pain
that we never deserved 
but to know how bad it is
to accept something 
that isn't even worth gaining?
Now don't blame yourself
for being kind.
Being good to yourself
has know harm, Right?
So expectations are fine
as I believe that 
there's always a good 
even in the darkest of times.
