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.
