Don't give me your expectations,

I can't even live up to my own.

Don't ask me to smile and laugh,

giggle and that.

I can't even do that on my own.

Don't expect me to sit in class,

Back straight, hands in lap

I'd rather be on my own.

Don't want for me to be out of bed,

Up, clean and healthy.

I'm trapped in my head on my own,

So,

Don't give me your expectations,

When I can't even live up to my own
