[hometext] => There are people who always expect too much of you.They need to remember that everyone has their limitations.All too often I feel like I'm being asked to do the impossible
[bodytext] => I cannot peer inside your head, though I'm expected to My vision, though clear,will not break unspoken thoughts When I stare into the mirror, I see nothing but myself Mere mortal, perfect in imperfection and happy to be so If you were to cut me, surely I will bleed Of the same flesh as you, I am made to be broken The expectations that you have, would Hercules be strong ? Remember man is only man, so how can I be more ? Should I gain wings to fly, you would insist I soar higher Could I run like the wind, I would need to be swifter Redundant devil here you'll find,for never idle hands Sleep the only hideaway to free the shackled mind Look to yourself before you cast the first stone You are my reflection, I no more than yours Tomorrow when I greet you, do not look for any miracle Until you can teach me how to walk on water.
