Expectation Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Expectation

Rating: 5.0


Give yourself
The gift of lowered expectation,
Accept life and its messiness,
You can't amend
Nor wish it away, so
Lower the bar, so
All can walk under, for
What it is
Is what it is.

Sometimes we set our standards to high, creating mind sets. I have learnt recently to let go of certain things, I am a lot happier. This poem spoke to Me. Great write. Love D
