Expectations and Reality

zhangyuyouyu

When dream meets reality

it's like heaven meets hell

The Angel on the right motivates and encourages

The Devil on the left lures 

Yet it is already sufficient to let

The heart lean towards the left where there is no hope

Why do we try so hard every day of our lives to get nothing at all in the end 

But sadness, anger and grief

That we had lost ourselves in all of this

If I had never expected anything, I would never have been disappointed

If I told you I expected nothing, that would have been a lie

Because as we try our best not to have expectations or lie to ourselves,

The truth is subconsciously we are still hopeful for something

Even a small miracle might happen in the end
