PIERCING SHARDS OF DISAPPOINTMENT -Poetry

Piercing shards of disappointment

Stab my heart,

Migrating to my brain

Embedding in my skin,

A slashing I can’t avoid

Why do I expect so much?

No one expects it but me.

Is it wrong that I want too much?

Should we set goals?

Shouldn’t we strive for higher?

Yet when I do,

My world crumbles.
