Brief thoughts about regret and remorse |
What point is there? To concern oneself with the past It is better to attempt to hold back the tide Stop the bird from flying Better to concern oneself with Extracting water from stone There is no point. Though I am like cattle Branded with the mark and impression Of yesterday Thoughts of normality and regularity As what I once knew was my world Was how I ate, slept and lived How I breathed Now I face the other side of the leaf A different horizon as it is a new destiny Change presents new ends With that I revel in the unseen The unheard and the unsaid So again with all my rage I ask to think of the past What is the point? When all I have is experience and knowledge It seems worthless compared to pain It is not always valuable and never removable Just there, present like the moon Unchanging like the sea or sun I can’t make any change What good would that be anyway As I sit I maybe in danger Not knowing my surroundings Though I know one certain thing There is no point to worry If one shall, one shall die I can only hope for a speedy death and a slow flight to heaven So I ask you all, what point is there? Live life not as if you know you will die But as if you’re waiting to die Place that pressure upon yourself Add a little tension to your everyday routine For it is under sharp relief and brutal reality That we realise our potential to flourish and thus cease to worry |
