...When you get what you wanted,
but it's not what you want; you learn disappointment
the hard way.
...Tried not to create
expectations; predictions; illusions of
grandeur...
But you did.
...When you gamble contentment
for possible gain: take a chance, and find
you were wrong...
...Weigh the risks beside your hope,
and in a moment of ill-advised
courage,
take a chance.
...When you trust in some variable;
exchange solid loam for a shot at the sky...
You might fall.
...Praying the stubs on your back are
wings, not both'r'ing to test your
hypothesis...
Flutter, then crash!
...When you get what you wanted,
but it's not what you want, remember; learn better
for next time.
