You can’t erase
All that pain.
You can’t magically
Replace the hurt.
You can’t undo
Anything that is past.
You can’t.
And that you can’t
Makes you feel
Powerless.
Powerless, the power
You’ve known so well.
You can’t change
All that was done.
You can’t rewind
And recreate.
You can’t
And that is what
Tears your soul
Every day.
You can’t change
Every mistake
You can’t and
This is the battle which
You must contend:
You can’t.
When you realize you can’t,
When you realize this fact
Can be flipped like a coin,
You see the other half
You see the other truth.
You realize you also
Can.
