Expectations


I hold on to a hand to get me through the dark

To walk with me; take me to the light

But the darkness makes me blind...

I forget to notice it doesn’t hold me back

I forget my guard, I enjoy the bliss



I assume its taking me through another day

Giving me the support I need

But you see, that day, I just stood still

I didn’t walk towards that light at all

I took me through nothing

But my guard was down, the illusion was still on



And then, I had to move again.

Take bigger steps since I hadn't moved for so long

But the hand wouldn't move



And as I pulled, pleaded and begged

It bruised my hand and just stood still

Perhaps it was the anger or the loss of hope

The darkness changed to light.. To clarity



No, it wasn’t a hand.

It was just a branch

It belonged to a tree

Not to me
