expectation = insanity

people are not poems
they are not the beautiful, fragile, perfect beings we think they are

her eyes are not cascading rivers or wild oceans
they are just blue

her hair is not a wild tangle of silky freedom
it is just blond

her hands are not security, warmth or safety
they are just skin

our expectations of what people can be
are what drive us to insanity.

we thought the blood pouring from our wrists would be beautiful
but it was just red.
