Expectations

Folder: 
..Earth..

I'd like to tell you

"it'll happen overnight"

that you'll get exactly 

what you thought

and "it will be all right"

But life doesn't work like that

Not without putting up a fight.

Not the kind you battle 

with your fists,

the fight where 

you have to come to grip

with the reality

you seek to find

and the peace within your mind.

 

In an era of instant gratification

we seek to fullfill the void

with the abundance 

of riviting new sensations.

Unfortunately

this life of man-made 

is upon a chess board physical plane.

 

And the greatest lesson to reap

it that "it's not about what you have and what you get to keep"

but 

"it's what you've gained along the way."
