Expectations!!

For the 1st time I was walking,
My hand into my dad’s,
He left and I fell,
He expected me to stand myself…
Expectations from an infant!!

Mathematics wasn’t my cup of tea,
I could hardly score a 60 of 100,
They scolded, they slapped me several times,
They expected a 90 of 100
Expectations from a school boy!!

I was 16, I felt infatuation,
I walked around her all time,
She complained to the Principal,
I still expected her to talk to me once,
Expectations of an immature lover!!

I was 18, to be college going,
I worked hard, I was good,
I could not make it to the end,
I expected to join IIT,
Expectations of a teenager!!

I thought I was mature,
Took a chance and again gave my time to her,
Now she enjoyed my company, but I was confused,
I expected her to make me happy too,
Expectations of a young adult!!

I was fond of extra co-curricular activities,
I was enjoying them at college
But it was a time waste to my dad,
He expected me to just score well,
Expectations from a college boy!!

Now I want to study more,
I want to do more, something out of league,
I hate to be simply an engineer,
But mom expects me to do a job
Expectations from a son!!

People around induced in me a thing
They induced something that suffocates me
They have induced in me the repellent of happiness
They have induced in me Expectation
Expectations of ME with MYSELF!!

From school to college- Expectations,
From friends to family- Expectations,
From enemy to a Lover- Expectations,
From academics to my passion- Expectations,
In fact my birth was an expectation, they wanted a Boy!!
