Get Over

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try you cannot change a person.

Even if that guilt pervades every thought you happen to let glide, you still feel accountable.

Surely that is malice? At least ignorance of the acutest kind

Or is it the willful choice to torment one’s self

Self flagellation of the mind.

I tried to get over it

I thought I’d built a pretty sturdy bridge

And yet my guilt is a stain too deep to erase with bleach

I should just get over myself.

I can change myself, not the world

But you should really change your status.
