These Expectations

I expect college will help me.
I want to go
to help myself
so that
I am able
to help my family, my community
and all, all that I expect
is for college to help me.

There is a lot that I want
but expect?
and who is to say?
who decides
what I can
what I should expect?
did you expect?
expect me to expect more?

and I know that it wasn't expected
expected that my voice would be heard
but I've been writing
silently working
silently plotting
silently becoming

and now it should be expected
I expect that I will be expected
and why shouldn't I?
Why shouldn't I write
or become?
That is what I expect.
You
all of you
should begin to expect
these expectations.

it's not too much
not too much to expect.
