I can't take the mental strain <br />It's worse than any physical pain <br />We always expect the most <br />From the ones we hold close <br />Why do we have expectations <br />Reality has it's limitations <br />The sooner we figure this out <br />We will be better off, beyond a doubt <br />It shouldn't have to be this way <br />This world isn't black and white, it's gray <br />Only if I could see the future <br />I could gain some composure <br />Lets hope things become clear <br />Then I may persevere<br /><br />Thomas Howe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reality-vs-expectations/
