"I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.

Expectations create monsters
You expect me to be happy
You expect me to like everyone
You expect me to be like you
You, not me
I expect me to be upset
I expect me to be myself
I expect me to be me
Me, not you
Your expectations make me a monster
