Not For Me

Not For Me

 

There are some things 

Well - one thing

That I want to be settled. 

I want to know 

I want to understand

 

I live to understand 

I breathe to understand 

I seek this understanding

 

Though I have seen 

At times 

The understanding I yearn for 

Might not be for me 

 

It is hard to accept 

Somethings I am not apart of 

It is hard to surrender 

But I must 

 

I must wave my white flag 

I must accept what is not mine 

This Understanding 

It Might Not Be For Me

 

The Setting

The Time

The People

The Words 

The Silence, The Laughs 

The Touches, The Smiles 

Everything It Takes To Understand 

 

This Understanding  

Maybe It Isn’t For Me
