What was Expected...

You always did what was expected
You never lived your life for yourself
Is that really what you predicted
You just put aside your problems on a shelf

You need to look deep inside yourself
To find out who you really are
Not just try to hidr yourself
To be what is expected

You need to have controll
To know what you want to do
you need to fend for yourself
Not wait around for other people

Not only should you learn all this
But learn to know yourself
And not have to talk
to talk into this mirror


 *if you love someone let them go, if they return their love was yours, if they don't their love wa never yours to begin with*

kiki: i like this one quite a bit (better than the other one you posted, i must admit)... i like the twist at the end most of all... though i do think you should put some sort of punctuation (a dash perhaps) after the next to last line to seperate what is coming from what was before... i hope to read more of your poetry soon...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
