Of Expectations


0

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.

When thoughts began to rhyme, And lines found a heartbeat, I transformed from a dentist to a poet.

  1. 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.
