Alisa Balaieva Poet Lyric

Expectations

verse

Thought I would be 30 one day

with money and power, my way

would strewn with the diamonds

with my favorite flowers

 

pre-chorus

and i'd be smarty, witty, pretty

i'd professional, i'd be so sweety

 

chorus

But here I am, crying on the floor

i have succeeded nothing in this war

my expectations turned into my dreams

my dreams are failures, they're laying in the bin

 

 

verse

thought i'd be the coolest one day

i'd be the ruler, and my greatest way

would be successful, without stress

with no scars or tears, or mental distress

 

pre-chorus

I would be stable, healthy, fine

i'd feel amazing, life could be divine

 

 

bridge (2 times)

i'm normal, but i'm not ok

my panic destroys me, i'm losing the taste

the taste of a bright life, of happiness

I'm ing annoying striving for progress

i'm so a mess

Life can issue out some hard blows and most people experience then along the way but praise God He is there for us through it all and will have a solution for the problem/s if we only trust in Him. I enjoyed reading your work. Sara Alisa Balaieva November 9, 2021 at 2:27 AM Hi Sara, Thanks a lot for your wise words. I'm glad that you liked it.

Joseph P. DiMino September 6, 2021 at 8:51 AM Well, I'm 74 now, a bit beyond 30. Can't say much to help you along, having been there. But I am here, now...and realize the wisdom and value of the journey. Hang in there! Blessings! Alisa Balaieva October 23, 2021 at 1:41 AM Thanks Joe for sharing your thoughts ?
