Land of Expectations

Living in the glamorous, you haven't seen beauty until you come here. No one's unique 
just outsiders, to the people who are in it the people who aren't don't matter. Living 
and breathing the air of successors and opportunities if you waste your chances you will 
be left feeling bitter. The land of expectations No one's free from it's hold. It takes 
determination and experience in the world to really be known. A place full of excitement, 
No one truly sleeps. Day and night, living in the tall buildings and bright lights you 
don't exist if you don't look normal. Teased beat and left uglier than you once knew. 
Better conform fast or the dirt is where they'll leave you. It's not all terrible, just a 
million roses in a garden trying to grow and outshine each other. You'll have so much fun 
that you'll forget your past. Gripped into our world, dreams that someday Hollywood will 
come even though we despise it. Problems by the dozen but no one complains. Who would 
when you live in the land of expectations? Better pass, exams, life experiences, no one 
expects you to drown. Gasping for air, in a land of perfectionists... what matters most 
is that you get the grade you suppose to. But what if you don't, they'll fill you with 
lies leaving you with no hope. I won't conform, I won't drown, ill make my way even if 
it's not by regulation. What can a girl do but try to survive the world of Cliches in the 
land of expectations.
