Today I forgo the desire of understanding life for what it is
I’m not sure if its giving up, or just growing out of that desire
But now I know, as much as there can be understood
Much more of it can never be so
People’s actions are often illogical
Some of those are repeated
Making sense for some
Leaving the rest helpless and wary
It has only brought me more suffering
Trying to understand why certain things happen over and over
So today
I forgo the desire to understand
I wish I didn’t have to
I wish I could have raveled that mystery round it
But today
I’m just too tired to try anymore
Maybe one day
the answer will come to my door and I’ll understand
But for now
I forgo the desire to understand life for what it is
