Rewriting the Past

We can try to change it 

like furniture and rearrange it. 

Like a bad picture 

and retake it. 

Like a bad batch of cookies

 and remake it. 

We can act like it never happened 

and repress it.

Hide it with a joke

 and laugh it. 

Like not being sure of your decision 

and second guess it.

Point all your fingers 

and blame it. 

Wish it would leave through the doors of your mind 

you know stage right exit.
