Expect Nothing Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Expectations
A knife that cuts the owner and everyone close
Expectations are deadly samurai blades
Waiting to pounce
On whomever ties himself (herself)to the stake of selfishness
It is true, expectations have ruined many lives
Marriages ending in bitter divorce
Brilliant students ending in the gutter of alcohol and drug abuse
All because the burden of expectations was too much
It is okay, to expect nothing out of a relationship
It's actually perfectly normal to submerge yourself in the pool of unconditional Love
