Sometimes It’s Not

Janet Kuypers, December 13, 1998


there are many things you learn in life

the key is:

figuring out when you learn them
and what you can do about them

there are some things that you can’t avoid
and there are some things you can put off
for as long as possible
and then you’ll have to face them

there are some things you want to run to
and you want to do everything you can
to make sure you don’t let go of those things

and sometimes that’s enough
sometimes it’s not

sometimes I look for the answers
and usually I can’t find any answers

is that supposed to make me feel better?
it doesn’t

sometimes I wish I could
turn back the hands of time
and maybe I would think
that the things in life that are important to me
well, maybe I’d think they weren’t so important

then again, I might still think
that I could live forever

well, we all have our hope
and we all have our dreams
and usually we don’t think about them
and often we try to avoid them

but all those thoughts, well,

they still find a way to manage their way
back into you life like that

***

turn back the hands of time
but maybe I might still think
that I could live forever then

we have our hopes and our dreams
and usually we don’t think about them
and we try to avoid them
