the underbelly

So simplistic are the things that we all hold on to
And then we avoid anything real to anything because we fear consequences that again, mean nothing.
We can’t forget the past, because we’d never learn
But we can move on, and embrace, and grow from whatever experiences we collide with
And everything is an experience
We burn so many bridges because we fail to let go of the thought that we, ourselves, aren’t perfect
Or maybe that others, like ourselves, aren’t perfect
And that we all live our lives at different speeds than those all around us
But we all have the commonality that time hastens as we age
And no one is getting any younger
But you’d think we would learn easier
Instead we grow more intolerant
We see squares instead of cubes
Some just see lines
When life’s boundaries are limitless, we live with blinders
And so we have lost our faith
In Life
In God
In Ourselves
So we choose not to trust anyone
And we see in people what we want to see
Some don’t stand a chance
