My Dead Language

I think you did the best you could

I think you did the best you could
You did a lot of things right
And what you got wrong-
Well that’s just an everyday thing
Words, actions, moments in time
They make up a living
They can breathe life and bury a soul
Maybe I came out already defeated

I’ve traveled far and wide – just within the distance of my own mind
Looking for answers
Searching
Maybe I should have looked for questions
You had none to give
The ones you did weren’t the ones you believed
And not what you lived
I could start over and over again
And never have enough time to finish
But still you did the best you could
And so this is the best that I am
