expectations

expectations in life-  the things they want you to be.  the lies to tell,  the rules to break.  remember the rebellions-  the silent oaths you take.  all those secrets-  you can't trash,  or your ass could be grass.  remember the silliness-  your youth,  the perfect innocence you once had.  then abused in your life-  with infatuations and confrontation,  remember the days...  of when,  when you couldn't choose-  your choice was all made;  now those choices get tough-  you may kneel and cry.  expectations to you-  what to do before you die,  the days of purity leap by.  adolescence at full force-  it leaps off a page.  into your face-  comes virginity and pride,  words now make sense.  and your heart breaks with doubt,  the confusions overbearing.  oh to hide from thee!  expectations of one-  none you see,  could you be?  worthless or ordinary,  my god could this be?  you set the goals-  accomplishment and peace.  throughout one's life-  expectations won't cease,  quite prevailent they'll be.  oh you live-  your life you like,  with out the sin.  you like goodness-  and pray hard from with in,  release my soul;  help me be good.  let me expect heaven-  heaven to welcome me,  cos it's the place i want my heart to be.
