Consequences

Some events throughout our lives

Have consequences that

Reverberate for years and years,

No matter where we’re at.

 

A childhood trauma or a jab

That cut us to the quick,

Emotional or physical;

A hurt that seemed to stick.

 

Or else an injury incurred

To leave a lasting scar

Or the remnants of an illness

Which hangs on in ways bizarre.

 

There’s not way to know just what

Will have a permanent effect

And at times we may react to what

We never would suspect.

 

The only thing that we can do

When looking to the past

Is to realize we are stuck for good

With what the die has cast.
