Emy G's "Expectations" asks what it means to be a female and a mother, then shows how society answers with contradictions. A woman is told to have the "right" body, but if she shows it she's called a slut. She's "too old" and "too young" at once, never enough. The cracked mirror image fits this well: she's expected to be a single, perfect reflection, but the pressure leaves her fractured.
The second section turns to mothers, who are judged as too young, too old, too alone. The marionette image suggests mothers are controlled by outside hands, shamed for things like breastfeeding, and told to hide everything, while the simple job of caring for a baby gets forgotten.
The speaker sounds frustrated, tired, and a little angry. The short, blunt lines and repeated "Too much" build a feeling of pressure. The ending lists online labels like "E-girl" and "VsCo girl," then lands on a quiet, hopeful question: why can't a female just be herself?
