Dashed Hopes Poem by Christopher Tye

Dashed Hopes

Hoped to achieve loads of stuff today,
Fell somewhat short of my aspirations,
For I am always the eternal blind optimist,
So my hopes always seem to be dashed.

But at the end of the day today was today,
Tomorrow is a new day for new hopes,
Past experience ain't going to tether me down,
Eventually high hopes and blind optimism will win the day.

Dashed hopes a sign that I over estimate,
Always out thinking my actual capability,
Who knows maybe a young mind stuck in an old body,
But without high hopes nothing will be achieved at all.
