I’ve always expected so much from myself. And now I see my daughter doing the same. We want to paint rainbows in the sky. To rain glitter down on life’s parade. And sometimes we get stuck in the mud. Sometimes we want the mud to swallow us up. BUT what gets us unstuck is the expectation we place on ourselves to do better.
She looked at me
Tears in her eyes
They pleaded with me
To give her a good
Honest reason why
I had no words
No answers for her
I’ve been asking myself
The same to this day
And I realized
The answer isn’t
Why we ask the question
We ask because we
Expect more than this
