Stupid And Thoughtless Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A suggested way,
One can survive through...
These trying days.
With everything that seems possible,
Coming to destroy kept beliefs fading.
Is to not make attempts wishing,
To have had appreciated...
What has passed taken for granted.

And do the best one can,
Living today and others ahead to come...
Forgiving yourself and everyone else.
For the doing things done to do,
You knew...
Had been thoughtless and stupid.

Or...
Even better.
If it should make you feel,
Less guilty and depressed...
Choosing to prefer being stupid,
Before recognizing your thoughtlessness.
This may be for you,
A more acceptable way to face the truth!
To own and claim it yours.
