Your Markings

Stripes on a zebra The pattern of a leopard’s spots These are things I may want to change But know that I cannot Your stripes are your selfishness Your spots are your cheating ways These are the markings that make you you And are here, I’m afraid, to stay The sun always rises in the east And sets each day in the west I’ll never be able to tame your beast So, moving on, I think, is best by Joe Flach for the "Serenity Response" contest "accept things I cannot change"
