Dead Inside
By

The problem with life
Is expectations are so high
So much drama and the cost of pride.
It leaves everyone feeling
Like they might just be
Dead inside.
It drills holes in the soul
For emotion to crawl into
To hide.

But, it’s, really, difficult, NOT to, hold any, expectations of those whom we care about and loved, and so, we get, trapped in the, vicious cycle of, expecting too much, feeling disappointed when the person failed to measure up to the, impossible standards we set for her/him, and we all eventually, become, products of, disappointment.
