Realizing Now
I'm realizing now
that a lot of things don't matter
no use to cry over spilled milk
and I've come to accept that hearts splatter
pages will become old and tatter
and time will continue on
life will be full of tears and laughter
there will be dusk and then dawn.
There will be people gone
some will stay away, some will return
some lessons you can teach
but you must first learn.
Some days the sun will burn
some will cool with rain
some days will go happy
some will go in pain.
Sometimes we lose, sometimes we gain
battles are fought, flags unfurled
but you choose what's worth it
and I'm realizing now
I don't care to try to change the world.
