Expectations…….Unlimited
Avarice for unsatiated love and affection
with a begging bowl, always asking for more
Solitary, wandering here and there
Deserting inner, outer circles fashion
Burden of expectations weighing down
Spectre of desires, needs and wants
Rat race, peer pressure and family taunts
Education in a dazzling convocation gown
Chagrin only, as eagerly anticipate
Disillusioned and doleful with regret
Never to bargain for, nothing to fret
Churning out our destiny and fate
Dipping esteem, reality bites, face fact
Twisted and awry, euphoria amiss
Yearning relinquished, diving into an abyss
Bonding disconnected, no more sacrosanct
Excursion, jaunt, journey and picnic
Dwindling by the day, a life cocooned
Lost in oneself, uncaring and marooned
Self centered, in an island, agonizing sick
Fervently praying, morrow a better day
No more exodus to depths of despondency
Believe, long for and the flight to ascendancy
And the hope train chugs in making gay
