Things Change
Yesterday,
I had my head in a suitcase.
Just a robot with a dream.
The expectations for me were never met..
They never will be.
Things never change.
I had my head in a suitcase.
Just a robot with a dream.
The expectations for me were never met..
They never will be.
Things never change.
Today,
My head is in a sling
Like a shirt with a coffee stain.
Life just isn't the same.
It never will be.
Things never change.
Tomorrow,
My head will be in the clouds.
Like a bird with no limits.
My best isn't good enough.
It never will be.
But things change.

I agree that this shows hope, failure and acceptance
Nicely done! It portrays a beautiful blend of acceptance and hope. I like it.
