Un-expectation

Never been a fan of expectation.
When you expect things, there’s more chance of winding up disappointed
Because expectations are so often just fantasies
Moments you create in your own mind to soothe nerves
Or to mentally prepare yourself for what may be
Just about to happen -
Danger!
Not because you may be unable to stick to the plan
But because the event you’ve envisioned may be 100% false
Completely misinterpreted in your own head
And expectations cause mixed reactions
Too mixed to be made sense of
Young and intimidatingly unsure
Feet all confused – ready to stumble
But never at the right time
Whoops!
Straight into the arms of the unexpected.
