Expectations

hollietuxlil's avatarUnlearning the Fear

I learned years ago

I can’t afford

Expectations.

My mother is long gone.

The sharp sting of loss,

The abysmal Death of

Loneliness,

I learned to seek solace in myself.

People in my life–

Ships sailing aimlessly, disappearing in

Darkness,

Departure swift and steady as Arrival;

always fleeting.

I steady myself.

Can’t rely on fickle foundations

that break me down.
