everyone
keeps telling me:
don't expect too much
because you'll get hurt
too easily.
i know.
and i want to change that.
but i can't help that
i expect
so much from myself.
and i know
how hard i am on myself.
i expect everyone else
to do that too.
i want too much.
i know that.
but is it possible
that everyone else
might be expecting too little?
have i put my standards
too high
or are just others'
too low?
i guess we'll see
where we come
if we set
our expectations
lower than
what we deserve.
