It Is What It Is Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

It was a long time ago,
Years, decades even; and
It’s true the world has forgotten,
But then it doesn’t owe you a thing.
Your choices and decisions
Cost you a lot and
You ate a lot of dust.
You can keep all that in your heart
If you must,
But the world
Simply is what it is...
A blessing, or a curse.
Life can be cruel and unforgiving,
But it also offers healing
To any who are willing to let go first.
