Low Expectations

Woke up disoriented
in the midst of a storm

The insanity of today

Our recurring nightmare

Or could it simply be
a half remembered dream

that was corrupted
by convenient misinterpretation?

Maybe things are not as bad
as they seem to be

Maybe we seek refuge
in all the negativity

Expect the worst

Minimize the hurt

Hope for the best

and embrace

our small victories
