When You Are In Sanity

So you lose hope if things don't go as you expected?
Then why do you even expect?, why do pile up the mountain of expectations just to jump from the highest peak with no parachute?

Expectations don't give hope, they just take away hope. Hope gives hope. & it doesn't take away hope, it just gives you hope.

Will you please stop expecting & start hoping? 'cos I expect & I hope are two different evil twins.


P.S. "Agar mujhe apni kisi baat ko raaz rakhna hota, to apney raaz khud ko bhi na batata."

  1. I don't know what the P.S. means o:


    Anyway, interesting poem, and yes! It's uber true :D

    I do suggest making it less straightforward and more symbolic...
    OR, add the symbolic bits and keep the structure :DOr, change the structure and edit the symbolic bits :]
