Expected

Always expecting, always..
Everyone, with their own wants
And I really , can't let you all win
This game was never about y'all
Most of you don't know..
You expect this poem to be fire
You expect it to be relevant
Expect what I haven't even imagined yet
Expect me to look at you
Like I always do
If I fail I'm a bad writer
A bad lover
I'm I the problem?
Do I always have to jump  when you do?
Can I first think it through
I was not  raised that way you know
Months  wither and I'm  left alone
Because I know myself
More importantly than you do
Your expectations might not always meet my reality.
