To Expect Nothing Poem by andrue finley

Insert sad story 'here'

'Place' reason for confusion

'Set' faded memories of doubt

'Leave' behind worry?

Unlikely...

Regret seems to be my only friend.

They are always there in my time of need

In need I've been....plenty


This isn't easy to admit that I'm in the worse possible condition

So I'm noticed...I'm happy..right?


Insert momentary happiness 'here'

'Place' inclusion and cute stuff

'Set' whimsy and trust

'Leave' behind fear of being lonely?

Unlikely....

With my eyes wide open and heart slowly blooming.

Tears dried.....no lies...just safe.

Suddenly inclusion becomes second nature

I wake up feeling cute

I can do things I better not do

I even trust you

I even lo...

Insert boundary 'here'

'Place' pages of sorry and excuses

'Set' regrets and doubt

Leave...me..

There is my friend, good ol regret.

Pushed aside because the line is too long, I'm in the way

Cut off the conversation, cut off the inclusion, the cute, the fun.

Insert the real world 'here'

Hold on I don't like this

'Place' a larger border

Can I at least get a say?

'Set' nerves and fragile hearts

Hold on can i ev........

*Left me*


What I expected is this. To happen without fail...it's always happened. How I really wish it was a tall tale.

I was told to be more honest. With myself. Then I won't really say much. Just put a label 'handle with care'

I guess that's really all I have to say.

Cause I won't expect this
