our expectations
wrapped up in the guise of hope
and propped up to resemble serenity
almost guarantees
a recipe for disaster
they’ll make us unravel
when longings become ire
strive instead for acceptance of reality

Very true! This message has been given in the Bhagwad Gita as well:
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंस: सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते |
सङ्गात्सञ्जायते काम: कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते || 62||
क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोह: सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रम: |
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति || 63||
“While contemplating on the objects of the senses, one develops attachment to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire arises anger.Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.”

I agree with you that hope without action really is not practical.
