expectation

Though you see nothing of what I am feeling
I accept that you do not understand
Your differences have blinded you from seeing
But you must let me alone withstand

Sometimes you perceive what others cannot
And you comfort me as well as you can
Other times I am left troubled and distraught
Gone unnoticed and feeling letdown

So much is expected that I can’t give
Try as I might I can’t be what you weren’t
It hurts so much at times I cannot live
If only someone could decrease this hurt

I am not what you’re expecting of me
An image of what you wanted to be
