expectations
Hidden from the world, their expectations too high
I will never reach them, even if I try.
So I change myself; My face, my hair,
Everything that makes me ME, no one will care.
Soon enough, I'm not the same as I used to be
No longer that little girl that everyone loved to see.
I have become a fake person with fake aspects
So afraid of their expectations of having to be perfect.
I have lost the only people that cared about the real me
Now I'm a nail, holding up their reputations like the tool they want me to be.
I am defenseless and the only thing I can do is be quiet
This is what I wanted, right? The new look, personality and diet.
I wanted to reach their expectations and still I fail to do that
I changed myself for them but still they walk all over me like a mat.
I guess their expectations were too high, I couldn't go that far
Now I have to live with them ******* me dry of myself like the leeches they are.
You will never reach the expectations of everyone, so just stick with the friends you have.
