Expectations





Dad said expect strangers to lie, and the familiar to be untruthful. Standing here seeing the fruit of his words manifest with every revelation. How dare you expect? Expectations? Things you feel like you're owed but for what? Everyone has a struggle.... that "E word" is mine. Expecting. Expected. Wishing really, that things would be real for once at least...but alas. The heart grows a tiny bit more rigid. Exit and entrance a little more guarded, and that just fine. I'll be fine. In the dramatic way that I spew these words....in hopes that they will sink in...feelings...proportions the size of the Titanic...sinking just as fast as it was erected into the world. A cold place to be when your heart is worn on your sleeve, permanently expecting it not to be tarnished....but I'm made for this.  You were made to prove, that I will work it out,, filled with doubt but I'm still strong, I'll go on, caution neglected....typical ...just as I expected.
