ANGUISH

I wish I could break free and forget
And live life on my own terms
Yet I fail miserably…..

My heart escapes my hands easily
And then I let it break into pieces
Yet I cry inconsolably…..

I try to mend it and take care
And it refuses to listen to me
Yet I strive desperately…..

One should not expect when expectation leads to despair.
One should not presume when presumption leads to distress.
