A smile or two Counts not as a few But a mile long road Of "you must" and to do's A picture worth painting Is just as restraining As a dog in a cage Muzzled during training Amidst the achievers Are silenced nonbelievers For those who protest Are labeled "the deceivers" A map of success Is just paper at best When your heart leaves a void As it runs from your chest As the clock tic tocs Opportunity walks Now you're stuck with the laughter That muted its knock Expectation demands With transparent commands Dont find yourself saying "This is not what I planned"

Expectations
A smile or two Counts not as a few But a mile long road Of "you must" and to do's A picture worth painting Is just as restraining As a dog in a cage Muzzled during training Amidst the achievers Are silenced nonbelievers For those who protest Are labeled "the deceivers" A map of success Is just paper at best When your heart leaves a void As it runs from your chest As the clock tic tocs Opportunity walks Now you're stuck with the laughter That muted its knock Expectation demands With transparent commands Dont find yourself saying "This is not what I planned"
Follow what makes you happy, not what others expect you to do! <3
