Expectations (A Poem)

Easy,
Breezy,
Beautiful,
Childhood.
Or so they
Call it.
Until you
Realize
You'll never
Live up to
The expectations
People place
On you.
More importantly
On Yourself.

Duck Duck Goose (A Poem)

You put me
On a pedestal
Oh so high.
Till you took
It out from
Under me
And sent me
Sailing down.
You stared
Hitting me,
Now don't
you lie
You changed
In the blink
Of an eye.
My feelings
We're never
Valid, instead
I was the
One to blame
When it all
Went wrong.

I'm sorry I
Wasn't perfect,
I'm sorry I called
You out on all
Your lies.
But more importantly
I'm sorry that
I saw the truth
When it was
To late to apologize. 

To late for me,
To late for you.
I'm done with
This game of
Duck duck goose
Of emotional abuse.
