“This isn’t how I wanted it to end”

has to be one of the dumbest phrases

in all of human history

We generally don’t start things

thinking they’re going to end

and usually if we do

the journey getting there is the point

not where it all ends up

Books and movies, songs and tales,

those are meant to wrap up somewhete

but no one lives their life expecting

to know when it’s all over

or how it comes

or how each point and period

will twist and turn its way toward

the inevitable conclusion

Of course this isn’t how you’d thought it’d go

but it’s where your road

and your choices

have brought you on your merry way

so deal with that and learn for next time

That’s all you can do, really

Don’t bemoan how it’s over

it’s just a waste of time…
