I know that when a door closes a window opens.
But I am tired of crawling through windows.
I know that silence is golden.
But my voice demands to be heard.
I know that I am powerful beyond measure.
But I want the comfort of protection.
I know that good things come to those who wait.
But sometimes I’m impatient.
I know that if you love something you have to let it go.
But I want to hold on to what I love and cling to it.
I know that time heals all wounds.
But the more time passes the more wounds I amass.
I know that the darkest hour is just before dawn.
But I want to sit in the radiant sun.
I know that great minds think alike.
But I don’t know why there aren’t more great minds.
I know that that which does not kill me will only make me stronger.
But I don’t need to bench press a house.
I know that hope springs eternal.
No buts.
