Unmet Expectations

discord in relationships
unfulfilled expectations
but what you expect
is not me

I’m not incompetent
disloyal or deranged
just that I’m not
what you expect me to be

it carves me out
as an individual
for what lies outside
defining lines
is not me

acceptance
respect for boundaries
builds bonds
that allow shape retention
It’s I and You
visibly connected
not a hazy We
