I will never meet the expectations you have of me. While I grow to reach them, they grow faster. They grow like vines, Twisting. Squeezing. Climbing. Suffocating. Constricting. They strangle me, and I cannot fight them off. Cannot bear to appear less than them. I. Will. Not. Be. Less. But it seems it is too late for that. I am always less To you.

Great Expectations
I will never meet the expectations you have of me. While I grow to reach them, they grow faster. They grow like vines, Twisting. Squeezing. Climbing. Suffocating. Constricting. They strangle me, and I cannot fight them off. Cannot bear to appear less than them. I. Will. Not. Be. Less. But it seems it is too late for that. I am always less To you.
