Expectations

a poem by Adurthi Sushana

Setting ourselves up,
time and time again,
expecting it to be different,
disillusioned when it is not!
Each time when we give…
we give more!
Replaced with blind hope,
expecting that some day,
some thing will go right!
Hence we wait,
trying to fill the void,
with miracle diets and self – loathing!
Always looking forward for that day,
looking for something magical,
ignoring the real and,
growing old in the meantime!
Because,
life will always move on,
even if we refuse to!
