Just Forget About It

 

If you forget it,

Then just forget about it.

Forget the tears & the scars.

Struggle to fit in. To get along.

A timid babe to an angry teenager.

The unappeasable task to belong.

A need to rebel.

Just forget about it.

Forget the incessant strife.

Restrain your heart with logic.

Trade your passion with your degrees.

Discarding your wonderful place of magic,

Being practical.

Just forget about it.

 

Forget the incessant ladder of success.

The ravenous quest to be more.

The more you make, the more you need

The high of “high-profile” tags.

Frequent flyer miles

Tightening around your ankles.

Your personal story from riches to rags.

Just forget about it.

 

The badgering of “settling down.”

Having countless possessions

A car, spouse, kids & endless mortgage

Just forget about it.

  

Forget the creeping footsteps of old age,

aching joints & tired heart.

The machinery all rusted, about to fall apart.

You await death, for she is an angel

Who will put an end to this misery.

Just forget about it.

 

Forget about living in the elusive tomorrow

Living life as if it were a test

Assessing and grading everything.

Putting off fun for tomorrow.

Just forget about it

 

Take in the smells. Just Breathe.

Be the perfect imperfect you,

a nomad in this journey called life.

Find your joy and hold onto it.

Give it your best, and then,

Just forget about the rest!
