Expectations

Sleepless nights 

Restless mind, 

Heartbeats racing 

Expectations soaring

Parents to be made proud, 

Marks to be told aloud, 

A future to be paraded, 

Relatives are to be pleased. 

And amidst those numbers, 

Rat race growing stronger, 

Disappointment and anger 

Some dreams lie forgotten 

Like the guitar in a corner.
