Bear with me a moment
Do you mind?
While I vent

About ....

My life being
Stuck on rewind

Losing myself
In what I am not
Turning the clock forward
This havoc needs to stop

Knowing that knowing
Is not enough
Leaning on myself
The only one I can trust

Boxing up the memories
And locking the doors
No use for the keys
Won't need them no more

Two plus two
Always equals FOUR
Do the math
This is WAR

"Knowing that knowing
Is not enough"

Definitely not enough just to know and be disgruntled with it.  Something must be done about it.

I can understand the "life on rewind". I know this isn't what you were talking about for yourself, but for me, I attempt to not get too close to the horrible parts of who I have been at times. She has claws and she likes to make me think I haven't grown. Enjoyed the thinking!

"Knowing that knowing is not enough. . ."

Indeed. . .

We must also learn from our knowing.

Well done here. . .
