Expectations lost. Left in the pool with my shivering soul While I go in to warm up, sleep And rest. I will not stand this constant Hammering of my soul To the stocks just to be laughed at When really no one is looking, Though all the food is flying in my direction. I will not volunteer myself to be smeared with pasty Mold anymore. Because I do not expect love. Acceptance is not me. Give not take. Sacrifice not receive. So don’t look at me. I know you’re not looking --- Stop looking at me. Wait. I only thought you were looking I just found out my eyes were closed. You don’t really care. You weren’t really looking. I really wasn’t standing in the middle, And am not the center. Forgive me. Ok. That’s alright, I am here, you are there So expectations - no more. I will just dance. I am free... |
