Expected

Aspirations at a premium
Expectation driven lust
Excess has killed the medium
Permitting, perfection dust

Sparkling particles rise
Releasing a glittered glow
But the fairytale subsides
Before our arms can grow

We beg and plead
Wish, hope and pray
Supported by knees
We wish life away

For tomorrow, we wait
While mourning, days passed
Next time will be great 
But get it here fast
