My poem is about expectations, wants and meeting disappointment. I am a huge fan of Phil Dunphy from Modern Family. I was recalling one of his quotes,
“Key to a good birthday, lower your expectations”.
It need not be your birthday, but it’s apt for every day. Lower your expectations, and you can cherish each experience. I learned this fact the hard way many times. Still, I find it difficult to lower my expectations on people or situations. It’s like I am hard-wired with the “high expectation DNA”. Anyways I worship Phil Dunphy with all my heart and will try to follow him all my life.
Defeat
In a room, full of people
I longed for solitude.
In a world, full of animosity
I wished for serenity
In an era of misinformation
I yearned for enlightenment.
Little did I know, I would only meet disappointment.
