Perception

Worry about tomorrow,
while trapped in yesterday…
How can I get over missing you,
When you wont go away.

My tears they’ve become futile,
shed for me not you…
Reality but perception,
a change long over do.

Not so much the fact it ended,
what hurt worse was the way…
Stumbling cross-eyed and blinded,
time to live back in today.


Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

This is a wonderful perspective to have on life. We all need to get over things and 'live back in today' at one time or another. Well done!

God bless America, my home sweet home.

What I hated most about crying over my mistakes was the way my eyes burned and itched for days afterwards...

and the feeling that I couldn't have changed the outcome, no matter what...

life goes on...you'll find out you're better for this, now, in all the tomorrows that come...

I understand this. Possibly from a different perspective, but I do understand it. A good write. Songs of peace to you, too.
