Idly By

I've made mistakes before
But that still doesn't mean
I'm not aware of the faults that keep on plaguing me
Sometimes I foolishly
Think that I'm in the clear
My guard goes down
And then all my issues reappear

I thought that time would fade this out
I thought that change would come easy
But that's just me being naive
As I normally am

I can't stand idly by
Not if I want to still remain
Straggling and in the dust
I have to put
One foot
In front of the other

The adjustments are constant
But they're not
Unwelcome
As far as I'm concerned
There's value in
Acknowledging
Your own ignorance
And understanding differences

I thought that time would fade this out
I thought that change would come easy
But that's just me being naive
As I normally am
