It's Ugly Inside Today

 A very dreary and wet Saturday today

Very odd for Southern California 

But it is wet and ugly out

But it's the mood I'm holding onto today


I usually enjoy the rains

But I know too much ruins homes and lives

I was headed for a picture taking trip northward today

But I'm stuck here at the beach people watching


Surfers are out waves are good

Looks like a lot of fun

Sitting in my car now  no music just thoughts 

Where my head is going and why


I really need to start looking forward

Looking back brings me sadness and shame

Things could be different if not better

But I won't ever know what could have been 


On one hand I'm apologetic and remorseful

On my other I try not to give 2 shits

There is pain still floating in the air

In my mind I want to talk about and share this pain


I can't change the way people feel 

There nothing I do that will make them care

I realize most aren't as forgiving as me

Most aren't nearly as strong


It takes a lot to forgive someone 

You swallow pride, ego of yourself

It was easy for me to forgive my past

It's impossible to forgive myself 


Why should I care about those who don't care about me

Why put forth efforts that are wasted energy 

Because I'm bigger than the pettiness they hold onto

I've had to let it go to continue to move on in this life
