Feeling abandoned
Your enforced expectations
Got you entangled
In selfish desires to mold
Their existence to your own
You had your challenges
Glad you're on your way out
We have grand expectations for 2026 !

you can't trust expectations
if it's not an exact science...
it's just probability...
ain’t that the truth~ at least you won’t be disappointed
the sooner you learn this~ the better off you’ll be
to the horizon
waving to our destiny
no expectations

She was a puzzle
With such high expectations
Yet easy to spoil
Melting from the simplest words
Smiling from the smallest gifts
The breeze chills branches
as leaves (and expectations)
relinquish their grace,
abandoning all thoughts of
inevitable rebirth
Perception is that
intricately painted
canvas of reality
which has been
crudely painted over
with our fears
and expectations.

no demand
when left all expectations, each reached close to me.
'When plans dont go to plan' Contest by Silent One.
My heart's desire is forever unlimited
to the reality of this world's expectations
that we've inherited
on this journey of meditations
Nothing beats the power of hope.
But false expectations help that hope stay afloat.
Disappointed.
Patience, help hold that sailed boat.

snowflake's sharp lattice~
never quite the way she dreamed~
melts on her warm tongue
He noted with much exasperation
Bordering on desperation
For his basic expectations
Were yet to get any direction
Despite his heavy expectation
Is that light at the end of the tunnel as bright as you think it will be. In my opinion it seems that
way but im not setting myself up for the hurt.

Falling for it every time
His lavish words and overt good intentions
All end up falling flat

Passion's pulse now beats slower
Expectations sink ever-lower
Bees and butterflies back underground
Summer's song silenced, snowfalls surround
heart's like pond or sea
expectations desires live
in own condition
In a blink of eye
An year passed or as decade
Made all of my dreams dry
With your compassion to fade
Still illusions or I say expectations were high
In my hand I have a key
That will open the door
Of the expectations
For my conquest.
I will continue to walk to the doors
For I will reach my victory.
Best friends but the competition is fierce.
Prom night has its expectations.
The queen crowned ~ the mood is bittersweet.
