As Deep as a Kiddie Pool
Expectations
Everyone has them.
They could be good or bad.
People think they know me, but they don't.
They think I'm one sided.
I'm that girl who swims and watches excessive amounts of Teen Wolf. Thats who they see. Little do they know they have only skimmed the surface. My brother says I'm just like our older sister because we both lock ourselves up, if only they look underneath the surface to see that we are completely separate. They think I'm shallow. Its not like I want to be. The person who I imagine is different and immense, but I'm not her no matter how much I try. I think everyone wants to be special, but get over it, we can't all be. Instead most of us are drifting through the days trying to meet expectations that deep down we really don't actually care that much about. I want to be someone who cares, who is incomparable, who has depth. I don't want to be what they think of me.
