Expectations

You cannot escape it, you cannot win,
It's frustrating, dizzying, makes your head spin.
You cannot see it, it cannot be heard,
Though it whistles its song, and soars like a bird.

You think it is right, but it is plain wrong,
It goes where it wants and drags you along.
It is not algebra, and yet it has an X,
A tricky equation, it aims to perplex.

Its chains hold you back, your struggles are fruitless,
It wants you to fail, its blows are plain ruthless.
It casts its spell, you're under its control,
It will not stop until it has you whole.

The word is now seen, but it is too late,
You've come all this way; you fill up with hate.
Keep you in line, that's what they do,
But step out of line, you will find the true you.
