Expectations

Some will jump to reach the stars,
no view of reality.
I'll provide a trampoline,
Just accept there's gravity.
You can't just keep on jumping,
Leaps of faith will kill the soul.
Just climb a step every day,
And you'll soon reach your goal.
I'll support your ambition,
It's the right way to be,
Managed expectations,
Could finally set you free.

I seem to always give up on things. I don't know why. I guess I am just that kind of person. I dislike challenges. I think it's because my very little self-esteem and how little I believe in myself.

Amazing poem, short but true ;)

@bryanrobertheap lol 🌹🌹

Beautiful poem 😊

Brilliant! Can this be my new favourite of yours? (catching up on reading as I've been away). Many more would reach their goals if only they didn't set them so far above.

@jojo72 I really enjoyed this one. The only one that I think's better is the wandering minstrel - really proud of that one x

Wandering minstrel is truly brilliant. The last line is as strong on 3rd/4th reading as it was when I 1st read it. This comes very very close.
