No Expectations

I have no expectations I just do the best I can. Sometimes I awake at night wondering who I am. The light begins to falter as I slip into the dark. I feel the void grow larger my soul it seems to mark. Take me to a station place me on a train. As the rain still falls it erases all the pain. I step into the car I don’t know where I’ll go. The more I see in life the less I seem to know. The train leaves the station hope is packed on board. I look into the distance my happiness I should afford. I wonder where I’m going even if I’m on the track. I find that once you get this far there is no turning back. The sun begins to set as I head into the night. The moon and stars like my hope are shining bright. I head into this tunnel and wonder of the other side. I tire from this journey it has been a long hard ride.
