And So it Goes
Disappointment comes in all sizes
And it can sneak up on you
Even when you see it coming
From a mile away
I guess that’s because
Sometimes we just want it to work
Full steam ahead
Damn the torpedoes
And that’s usually a poor strategy
Because reality
Generally likes to stick its nose into things
And then all you have is-
Well nothing
Just another disappointment
Coupled with some emptiness
And a small dose of humility
Just to be sure you don’t forget
Ah, but what doesn’t kill you
Makes you stronger
And smarter if you keep your eyes open-
And your mind sharp
So we’ll see
As the disappointment fades
And the new day dawns over the ocean
Who knows what fantastic adventure
Is waiting to sneak up on me
