In Passing


its funny
just how far we fall
when we think
we are so right
to find out we’re
wrong

and dreams
change
with each passing night

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

i like how simple that was, but still meaningful. it's difficult to write a short poem and still make such a strong point with it.

good job!
