Tim B Poet Acrostic

Lost

Are we to blame when our expectations are too high?
No I contend we are ashamed when they go awry 
Oh, can't complain much though, just like a fool
To blind to see and too proud to succumb to a rule
Hastily set upon, shoulda followed them to the letter,
Easy now, anger won't get ya anywhere in life they say,
Rubbish says you, rue the day will they, damned fools.

Only that isn't true young man, you are truly to blame
Never understanding, never fully comprehending the game
Eager to win, able to lose, just sit back and relax... snooze.

Tim B July 20, 2011 at 10:29 PM Thanks Linda :) It is easy to get discouraged, especially in writing, sometimes you have to take a break and sleep on it. But i'll not be napping too long!
