What you’re missing is
usually right before your eyes
What you’re wanting most is
what you likely need least
What you’re saying is not
what you wish to say
What you’re hearing
is not always what’s spoken
What you’re thinking is not
what you want others to know
What you know of yourself
Is never truly known to others
What memory reminds you is
What you would have done differently
What you have learned is
That you have much more to learn
What you have earned is
Far less than you’ve given
What you did then is
What made you, what you are now
What you are now is
What you never thought you’d be
