wanting to see the good in it all

if I were a bodhisattva, I would see only the good
but, sometimes, I just can't ignore what's tugging at me
deep in the pit of my stomach, lodged in the back of my throat
regurgitation, aggravation, where's my salvation?
it keeps coming up, even when I try to keep it down.

it feels like something just ain't right.

that is where trust comes in.
throw a lifeline to doubt
but, at some point, either toss it in or pull it out.
you're not going save this one.

let others be, as they are
and walk away calmly,
without a fight

I give up, and give in
surrendering feels good.
