Remedy

I remember a place where I've told you once That if I've told you once it was a thousand times To let me make mistakes and spare you the burden And it seemed to reasonably rhyme But amidst self righteous indignation I realized The true wisdom earned through self remedied flaw And thought to myself, now, two thousand times if twice If anything it meant nothing at all But what should anything mean really If not least a lesson As though teaching lessons Weren't some twisted obsession As if any of pain it would lessen, at all But I can't help but try Seeing angst in your eyes On hands and knees as you struggle to crawl 06/05/2023
