Each time expectations make their presence known
You end up getting disappointed, repeatedly you’ve been shown
In your life that keeping your expectations high is a recipe
For discontentment, you would almost always be
Unable to have them met, things would somehow unfold
In a way that does not meet the expectations you hold..
*
It is difficult, because you lean on those around you
At least to some extent, in time you start expecting them to
Have your back when you are going through a patch that is rough
You imagine you would do the same if times for them are tough
You have misfortune befall you one day, and you find
The support system that you had in mind
Is not there for you, your expectations suffer a blow
Your feelings are wounded more deeply than you would show
*
You think you would have acted differently
If the other person was in your shoes, but maybe
That is an erroneous assumption, perhaps you would have let down too
The other person’s expectations, just as they have done to you…
*
It is vital to have a support system in place
But you learn that your expectations you should not raise
From others, it would save you resentment
When you are already suffering, to a great extent…
Passion...unbridled
