Life Without Expectations

April 12

Anonymous , writer

What do you think life would be like without rules?

Without guidelines and expectations?

You could choose your own path,

Regardless of the rest of the world.

 

What if it wasn’t expected of you

To work until you die?

You could spend your days exploring new worlds

Or creating new worlds without deadlines.

 

What if it wasn’t expected of you 

To graduate high school and go to college?

You could find the most beautiful place on earth and disappear

Or live in a castle that touches the clouds.

 

What if it wasn’t expected of you 

To live your life chasing money?

You could chase after happiness and joy

Or imagination and discovery.

 

What if it wasn’t expected of you

To be society’s expectation of perfection?

You could dance barefoot in the rain 

Or live in an old hollow tree.

 

What if it wasn’t expected of you

To fit into a box or live a normal life?

You could paint yourself blue 

Or wear pointe shoes to the library.

 

What would your life look like

If you could truly live it how YOU wanted to?
