One-Sided Expectations

You built a castle out of innocent souls 

and your throne was carved from optimistic hearts,

but you long for loyalty and honor.

Your kingdom reigned under contradictory ordinance,

yet you wonder why it all collapsed so easily.

You created a playground full of tricks

and traps that would only work for the naives,

but you wish you could stumble the brilliants.

You decided to level up the tricks, 

yet you wonder why it trapped yourself down instead.

You arranged a chess tournament

along with its rules that changed everyday,

but you expect a fair and fun game.

You forced non-players to compete while

intervening their maneuvers all the time,

yet you wonder why they all left the table.

You made people to involuntarily read confusing script 

of a play you have written and assigned them ambiguous roles,

but you blamed them for misinterpreting the characters.

You adjusted the plots too many times,

yet you wonder why the actors decided to create their own final revelation scene.

You sailed on a ship with too many captains,

but you wish it would take you to the Atlantis in a day.

You always ended up burning the ship parts by parts,

yet you wish somebody would stay.
