It was a long time ago, <br />Years, decades even; and <br />It’s true the world has forgotten, <br />But then it doesn’t owe you a thing. <br />Your choices and decisions <br />Cost you a lot and <br />You ate a lot of dust. <br />You can keep all that in your heart <br />If you must, <br />But the world <br />Simply is what it is... <br />A blessing, or a curse. <br />Life can be cruel and unforgiving, <br />But it also offers healing <br />To any who are willing to let go first.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-what-it-is-9/
