Expectation - a Poem
A writer without any words
Creates a story nobody has ever heard
Expecting nothing: as his voice is without any sound
An artist without any paint
Creates a painting with his mind
Expecting nothing: as his mind is clouded
A knight without a sword
Fights his battle alone
Expecting nothing: as like a boxer, he is too scared to fight
A sailor sails over treacherous seas
In search of treasure
Expecting nothing: as the treasure map is still undiscovered
An insecure girl
Searches for a best friend
Expecting nothing: as we are made to think it’s a pretty person’s world
I can’t be a poet, so I’ll be the poem
Like a lantern without any light
The sky without the sun
A dreamer of someone else’s dreams
Waiting to be awoken!!
The hardest question to probably ask someone is "Who are you?" It's a question without any right or wrong answer. You may go through life just trying to find an answer to such a question, for a writer, its like trying to write a story but knowing no one is going to listen/read it. I guess this poem reflect my thoughts on how I struggle to come to terms with whom I am....Its a working process with no due date. So until I find a suitable response to give to you...I tell you solemnly "I am me"...Thank you all for taking time out to read my poem and look forward to reading your comments about this poem :)

Awesome and this is comment on your summary.We pass a lifetime looking for ourselves. We put big power into things which we think that are not good and we are trying to change them. Much better is to change ourselves over again. Man who is suitable for changing can lead a good life!

Wise words Irena, very true indeed
I like this! Your summary is very interesting; I think we all struggle to come to terms with our own identity. I know that over the years I "forgot" who I was. I had a life-changing event that brought me to meet someone new: myself! It has been almost 2 years since that event that seemed so devastating at the time, but resulted in this amazing journey of self-discovery. Thank you for sharing some of yourself with us!

Thank you very much @time2rite for taking time to read my poem and commenting...I'm glad you met someone new in Yourself and hope you continue to have an amazing journey in whatever you do
I love this. It is very original and thought provoking. It almost seems easier to go through life without expectations because then there is no chance of being let down.
" I can't be a poet, so I'll be the poem", that is absolutely beautiful. Voted you up. Amazing choice of topics. Expectations usually lead to let downs and resentment.

richbrayan,
Very well written, and I enjoyed reading it.
However,I never think it is best to expect nothing,if you really do, that is too negative for me. I expect everything to develope in a positive way.
