Lessons

I recognise this feeling now

and will greet it as an old friend,

and yet I will still wonder how

I can get this feeling to end.

These despondent and jealous thoughts

are too heavy for me to bare

so I will swallow this bitter sword

and pretend that I don't care.

I know my worries are absurd

but in my mind they still stay,

I suppose that I'm just too scared

that your feeling could go away.

Rationality is insane

I'll keep my mind in its groundless jail.

Life is an eternal lesson

which, it seems, I'm destined to fail.
