Clearly I write best under stress... for lately I have been stressed... and due to this I have come up with what I think of as one of my better poems. The title is inspired by a song title (actually it is the same) from the musical 13 by JRB (yes I love him he is amazing, but I swear I listen to other music too, he just has particularly interesting songs/titles... him and Duncan Sheik)
If That’s What It Is…
Life comes with no remote
Only now and what once was.
The sun rises and sets
As the moon balances the night.
Tales of the human head on an animal’s body
Live on in our minds,
Tales of pain and woe, of love and gain
Live on in our days and hearts.
Nothing is to be rewritten
Nothing can ever be changed.
Trying too hard or not hard enough
All will fall, all will end the same.
It is what it is what it is.
Take the pain, that comes from the love
And let it live on, in our minds.
Take that which matters,
And turn it into that which is loved.
What we have ought not be
What we are given but rather
What we want.
Life is only now, many infinite nows,
And that’s what it is.
