they expected the best from me <br />they expected me to succeed <br />they expected me to win <br />they said they wanted what was best for me <br />they expected the impossible <br /> <br />they expected the world from me <br />but i couldn't deliver and i payed the price <br />i was pushed too far and too hard for too long <br />i couldnt take it and my life fell apart <br />i did the best i could <br />i got knocked down one too many times and couldnt get up <br /> <br />my future was in their hands <br />they held me too tight <br />and i was suffocated <br />and now the only thing in their hands is my corpse <br />now my soul is free<br /><br />Andrew Olson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/expectations-21/
