Expectations!

This is one of my new poems .... this ones about a golden word... Expectation! .... expectations from ourselves and more so from others. Have you ever wondered how much we always feel hurt when someone doesnt do as we expect or behave as we expect. Well truth is sometimes the heart just expects us to expect something from someone but it doesnt work that way. Maybe that someone doesnt even have a clue as to whats being expected. And then we hold grudges or feel bad. How can we do that when we dont even convey to someone of what we expect. Well the only remedy is to stop expecting and only continue to give your best and be your best, for I guess thats the way it goes.......

Expectations!

I should learn to only give;
I should learn to not wanna take!
To expect something in return;
was my biggest Mistake!!!!

For life is bout give and not take;
why cant I understand this;
For heavens sake!!!

Someone knock some sense into me;
to give n not expect is the way to be!

Lotsa people walk into our lives;
Some bring highs;
Some others low dives!

But why only give to the highs;
Sometimes give even to the lies!

Coz among these people walking;
I hope to find;
those who leave their footprint behind!

To find; I think;
I must beckon!
Each n every person;
with a smile n a cheer;
I reckon!

But trouble comes;
They take what I give n then run away!
Oh!
That causes my beliefs to sway!

I must not let this sorrow;
To stop me from giving!
That would be a sin;
One not worthy of Forgiving!

I must realize;
They never promised anything in return!
I was just expecting;
what was never going to come!

To give what I have unconditionally;
Its special but its just that;
To not get anything back;
is a fine example;
That great expectations often fall flat!!!!

Sometimes, Abstract thoughts run though the mind, and the flow of words just form a rhyme. It is when you actually go through what random words were penned, you realize that these are actually ur true desires or thoughts which have jus been put to paper. Here's a poem that I wrote a couple of days bak jus randomly sittin down. Its bout what everyone wants and how to achieve it and about the enormous joy of reaching ur goal. it goes something like,,,,,,

The Name!

In shades grey,
In shades blue!
In every shade;
I see you!

You're standing round the corner;
Giving me a stare!
My minds confused;
bout how I would fare!

But confusion aint gonna help;
Coz the bigger problem;
is how to get there!

With eyes open;
With eyes closed!
Everytime I look;
I see you!

Still standing round the corner;
Still beckoning me to come to you!
But the path to you is blocked;
I'm wondering how to reach you!

This is a chance for my mind to think;
to do the same thing others do!
The same thing as others you say;
Why is that difficult?
Coz I gotto do the same thing different!!

I just can't take your stare;
I want to reach you to make it end;
At last I figured out a way;
I have to take that longer bend!

Making my way round the bend;
Carving a path With a blend;
Of drops of sweat;
and The tears of joy!
I found you!!!
But you gave me a last task of naming you!

Some call you success;
Some others Prosperity!
Some call you Satisfaction;
Then there are Some who dont know you!

But for all you have taught me;
For what you have made me!
There only one name I wanna give you;
I'm gonna call you Happiness!!!!!!
