Ode to Low Expectations

 

Woke up disoriented

in the midst of a raging storm


The insanity of today

on an endless loop display

trapped within my weary head


My recurring nightmares

pounding at the bolted door

seeking entrance 

to today's fragile reality


Or could it all simply

be a half remembered dream

that was corrupted

by rogue misinterpretation?


Maybe things ain't as bad

as they currently seem to be


Perhaps I actually seek refuge

in all the negativity

swirling in the toxic breeze?


Expect the worst

and minimize the hurt


Find twisted solace

when disasters don't exceed

hyper gloomy expectations


Take up residence

beneath the low bar

of worse case scenarios


Embrace and celebrate

the small victories

in our glass is half full

kingdom of positive perceptions
