Ever thought why we remain disappointed and sad?
Ever pondered over why we are always clad,
With a baggage we didn't even pack,
We keep thinking there's something that our lives always lack..
We form bonds with each other,
Invisible to the naked eye,
The root cause of this sadness lies,
With expectations that bring along a sea of sighs..
Some people fulfil it, while some people don't,
Some people keep expecting, while some people won't..
I've learnt the hard way, never to expect,
But human that I am, i do it and later regret,
It's a war between my mind and my heart,
Learning not to expect is really a rare art,
The walls that my mind builds,
My foolhardy heart makes it fall,
The bridge between love and compassion,
Is fragile after all..
