Expectations
Raising the bar, is to set a fail
Who can abide to such a scale
Can we not accept the imperfections as well?
For when we fall we do not enjoy hell
Expectations, to me are like limitations,
Ways to fail in wide variations
Who do we really hurt when we set the bars..
Declaring our pain and showing off our scars..
For self gratification? Saying "I knew you'd hurt me!"
Instead of allowing that person to just freely be..
What happened to loving unconditionally?
Accepting each other and living life in harmony..
I cannot keep up with you and your limitations,
Let's just face it, I cannot live up to your expectations..

Thanks ALITA for a very elegant and thought provoking POEM. I believe in WYSIWYG ~ What you see is what you get. We accept each other JUST as we ARE. We are in HARMONY we don't set LIMITATIONS or EXECTATIONS ! Why can't others treat us like that as well ? Yours as ever BRIAN. Please check my Poems & Fusion ~ Thanks B (UK)

Welcome
The only bar we should set is the one for our self but also remembering we can just swing as well...
Inspirational stuff.

Thanks again for taking the time to read.. yes I totally agree, we set the bar for ourselves but we break them once we realize that we are limitless..
