There are some things
that can never be mended;
even as much as you try,
the result remains upended.
And I’ve learned it is better
to let sleeping dogs lay
than to stick around waiting
for the needle to sway.
There’s a balance to life
that just can’t be amended,
but sometimes these truths
are miscomprehended.
So I’m doing my best
to remember all these things
and trying not to fret
over things I cannot change.

Right. I agree. Sometimes letting things go their own way is the best thing we can do.
Trying to change it sometimes actually damages it even more. Deep poetry.

I couldn’t agree more. Some things are just beyond repair and I’m dealing with some issues right now. My quote for this new year is ‘I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I’m changing the things I cannot accept.’
