I'm expected to do as you say

To be a perfect angel

To follow your expectations

But I want to do things

That I want to do

Just because I have to listen

Doesn't mean my life has to

Revolve around your expectations

This plan you have made for me

That map of my life

That I had seemingly no input in

When this life isn't yours

Why does it give you the right to

Tell me how to live it?

I will still stay me

But with a few alterations

Like being unafraid to step out

To question authority

Instead of blindly follow

To live up to my own expectations

And not follow the road

You have created for me

To be my own person

Free of your grand expectations
