Expectations are like a bubble..

The bubble could pop at any momment. I love how you compare the two! It's so sadly true though. I have about stopped blowing bubbles of expectations. Let what happens happen. Great piece, I really like it. =)

"Expectations are like a bubble,
rising high and high,
it shimmers more by every moment
giving a promise, full of lie..
Expectations are like a bubble,
it builds a dream of myth
that it would etch happiness in our soul
making the candles of trust to be brightly lit..
Expectations are like a bubble,
we don't know its nature being fragile,
it withers away quickly with just a prick
gifting me a lonely smile.."
These concluding lines summarize the poem well!
How true...we expect so much...but most of our expectations end in nothingness...!
5/5

Some prefer to be a dreamer, others are realists...somewhere in the middle is where we should reside, I feel:)

Well done, Amreen!

I really enjoyed this..and I'm not usually a fan of rhyming poetry as of late..you've made me recall why I used to adore it so much.

I found I liked how you use delight in the second line, but false hope in the third..it was such a quick transistion from good to bad that I had to read it twice for my thoughts to catch up and found I loved it even more.

My favourite part here was the closing lines..throughout you've managed to keep such an even pace emotion wise and until the closing lines I'm unsure if I should be feeling happy or sad at your words and then the last lines hit me hard..it's too true how often we ecxpect things from others and then only end up being let down, and you capture that wonderfully here.

How true this write is!! Expectation just builds us up and it with just one pin prick all is lost...I like the message here...good one!
