Looking at the ceiling

Lost in thought

As you count the grain

Embedded in the paint

For what seems 

Like the hundredth time

Thinking about your life

As your mistakes flash by

One by one

But not present 

For more than an instant

Trying to count your mistakes

And all your imperfections

Though you know you could

Spend countless lifetimes

Trying to list them all

One does not have time

To name their imperfections

Perhaps it is because people

Try tho hard to be accepted

When they could be themselves

And live happily with true friends

Never shall humanity know

The reason why people ponder

Over their lives

Picking apart every flaw

Within a span of minutes

And no one has the time to waste

On such things

When time can be spent better elsewhere
