Spoken Poetry

Fixing

I thought about the ways I could change the events. Rearrange, erase, write up. Fix the errors in each sentence I've ever spoken. If it was possible, I would change a couple things for the world today. My mind would be clear, no stress or strain. I would be brighter than the sun, and stronger than any man on this earth. I see some mistakes I've made in life, but those mistakes were meant to be made, because I don't regret them. I just wish I could have changed the way some things worked out afterwards. To me, a life is a like a swing set. It has its ups and downs, and it has the abnormal twists of the chains. It can make you fly up high into the sky, and it can make you fall backwards onto the ground. Life gives you those feelings of butterflies, and aching strikes and shocks of pain. It gives you memories to laugh back on, and to release salty liquid that just appears when you think of them. Life is hard, but no one can change it, even if you wish upon the stars a million times. I know today, that I must live with the things that I've done. I know I must live with the mistakes that I've made. I must live with the desire to change.
