The Only Path

Don’t beat yourself up
too much about it, kid.

Sure, you’re not everything 
you thought you’d be 

but that’s how it is 
for most of us.

All those people 
you’ve  disappointed 

they probably had it coming.    

Give yourself some days of silence,
forget to hustle for a while.

Understand the universe 
will forget you and everything 
you have and haven’t done.

Find some peace in this
and sleep, guiltlessly,

and then get up 
whenever it is 

you feel like 
getting up

and do something beautiful
and useless

because that’s the only 
path to grace.
