Expectations --
Are dangerous
You expect --
Someone
To be good:
Honest, kind
Courageous
Stable, steadfast
Predictable
Communicative
Intelligent, fair
Empathetic, gentle
Sane, reasonable
Logical, respectful
Responsible, generous
Patient, tender
Open-minded
Self-aware
You expect --
Someone
To be so many --
Achievements
In the patchwork
Of character
We make for ---
Ourselves
Expectations --
Are dangerous
As too few --
Ever ponder
What they are
On all sides
Of their own --
Labyrinth.
