Fish in a Bowl

Expectations
Expecting me too talk right
Eat right
Love right
Dress right
Hate right
Know right
Even
Live
Right
It forms its glass bowl around me
Letting me see the light
Of better things
Of true freedom
The world
Outside
Of expectations
For there is a
Whole
World
I can see it
Hear it
But I am just a
Fish in a bowl of expectations
I will
Never
Ever
Brake out
Though I want to
So bad!
I want to
I need my expectations
I need to know how to live
Eat
Love
Expectations is my water
And my bowl
And I?
I am just the fish
Seeing the out
But kept
Stuck
By choice?
In this
Fishbowl
Of expectations
