Of Expectations

Thank you for setting the bar so high,

With expectations as vast as the endless sky.

   

How kind of you to deem me worthy,

Swift, steely, strong and sturdy .

   

So when today I face this herculean task

Of shunning my Herculean mask,

   

And finally pulling down the bar,

That has stretched my spine way too far,

   

Pray, don’t fret or frown,

When I have finally let you down.

  

While this shall greatly ease my worry-

I promise I shall always be sorry.

  3. Hey I’d posted my comment yesterday, wonder where it’s disappeared. The maturity is remarkable, that’s the beauty of your verse. Your persona breaks free from conformity.
