Expecting Rain

Expecting Rain

 

 

You’re such a disappointment

Never reaching my expectations

Always letting me down

Bringing me down

Pushing me down

And I fall

I fall to the ground

And you kick me

When I’m down

 

I can’t expect anything from you

Because if I expect anything

Then I have to expect the hurt

Because the hurt always comes

It never fails

It never fails like you do

 

And I don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to think

I can’t ask anything of you

I don’t want anything from you

I don’t want the pain

The feeling of loss

Of my time wasted

Of my hopes and dreams

Slipping away

Slipping through my fingers

Like raindrops

Falling into a puddle

Never to be identified

Again

 

I’m just going to have to

Expect the expected

Expect for you to let me down

So I don’t feel down

From such high expectations

Anymore 

Author's Note

Never expect anything, because when your expectations are low, they're most likely to be too low, and then something good will happen, and you'll feel better for not having such high expectations.

and if that doesnt make sense, then sorry. Tired

Enjoy!

Another sad outpouring from a disappointed heart... the play on 'expectations' helps to hold the words together and the image of the raindrops falling in the puddle is a powerful way of communicating the pity of it all...

[Hawkmoon]

hahaha yes, good idea. The concept of having no expectations is very important, because it frees us to remember the value of every moment and action in and of itself. This is a very Zen kind of simplicity. Awareness of a great objective perspective. You should also read Natalie Goldberg as a writing teacher.

Whatever torture or repression happened in your life,I welcome them.
They helped you to create such a great poem that may somehow be related to everyone's life.
