Analysis of Expectations
The shimmering eyes hold no light, the brightest smile holds only lies. The once innocent child now burdened by darkness no longer holds the hope for the future she dreams. The downing of her life chains her to the expectations that she is all too perfect to the world when inside she hides who she is and cries from the pain of pretending for the world so cruel.
