Dear Expectations

Very little punctuation. Please read author notes.

Dear Expectations,

You have always played a big role in my life
Rarely caused happiness, but mostly strife

I know it depended where I put you in the first place

You were always unreachable, became a difficult case

Because almost no one could rise as high as you
Too often I was left disappointed, and feeling blue

I used the last step of the ladder, too high, so I fell

No dreams came true, I got hurt and angry like hell

I know it was my fault all those years, I do confess
Now I will try to protect myself from more distress

Today I face an important decision and I am stressed

I am tired of unmet desires, I really need some rest

It is not giving up on you, now don't get me wrong
I just feel more sensitive, so fragile and not strong

So please don't get angry when I drag you down

Try to understand...oh no, I already see you frown

Sincerely yours,
Pupa

I realized lately that usually my expectations are too high, so I thought maybe that was a mistake. My new theory (at the moment)is not to expect too much, so that I don't get disappointed and hurt, it is a kind of protective measurement! I hope it works.
Please note, I am not lowering my expectations for good! At the moment I just feel like I don't want to expect anything, so that I can maintain my peace.
Thanks for reading my work.
