Expectations

My simple wishes.

Some say that at this age I'm supposed to care

That I'm supposed to do the expected

They want me to fit in

To smile, laugh, and win

They want me to be naive

They want me to go obey their decrees

As if they have some sort of pedigree

Some say that at this age I'm supposed to fall in love

That I'm supposed to want attention

They want me to have a heart

To blush, giggle, and still be smart

They want me to have romance

They want me to go be smitten

As if I'm some coy, soft kitten

But what about me?

How about what I think?

I say that at this age I'm supposed to be full of energy

That I'm supposed to want adventure

I want to live in a Wonderland

To fight, plot, and not be bland

I want to have fun

I want to go pull some stunts

Or maybe just maybe be me for once
