M's Poetry
Score
In my life I try not to keep score
the number of mistakes my brain can't even keep up with
so each day when I wake, it's a clean slat
time to put all my insecurities from yesterday away
because after all who is keeping score
I have did the best I could
with circumstances out of my control
I have tried to do right
just sometimes you get caught in the situation
and the way you turn is a blurred memory
only looking back did you realize your
journey turned out very differently
but who's to say I am right or wrong
it's my life not yours
if you want to critque me fine
but I have given up a long time ago in keeping score
I like sports it's the only time score counts
I prefer to let my happiness be my guide
and all other things just slide off my back
into distant oblivion,
because after all the little things seem so trival
at the end of the day I have love and that's all that matters.
