I am     suffocated     by their eyes.     These watchful expectant glares keep me trapped inside. My mind fails me as jumbled ugly words project like slimy *****      What they expected is fulfilled and in that fleeting instant all hope for me to                                                                                  change in spite of myself is lost.     And the d                     o                w                       n                w                        a                  r                         d   spiral commences, they look away and shake their heads as their thoughts manifest. There is no hope for me now.

Expectations
I am     suffocated     by their eyes.     These watchful expectant glares keep me trapped inside. My mind fails me as jumbled ugly words project like slimy *****      What they expected is fulfilled and in that fleeting instant all hope for me to                                                                                  change in spite of myself is lost.     And the d                     o                w                       n                w                        a                  r                         d   spiral commences, they look away and shake their heads as their thoughts manifest. There is no hope for me now.
