Sepia Shades

Managing expectations

for myself

to avoid disappointment

when things don't work out

has become a way of life

in which I refuse to feel hope

in case it ends in pain.

 

It's a perpetual plateau of the lackluster

the home of fine and okay and pretty good.

I'm done with the sepia shades

of a life lived caged 

by realistic prospects.

I want to hope for more and mean it

even if it ends in pain.
