40 I'm No Better

Clouds are only fleeting because you can't grasp them,

Stars are only boundless because you can't comprehend them,

Dreams are only fading because you can't reach them,

Nights are only dark because you can't stay in the light,

Love is only confusing because you can't accept it,

Life is only regretful because you can't accept loss.

_

I can't grasp the clouds,

I can't comprehend the stars,

I can't reach my dreams,

I can't avoid the dark of night,

I can't accept the love of another,

I can't live a life without regrets,

I'm no better than you.

A third section was later added but it is different from these two. Wrote it for a story on Feb. 28, 2017. My inspiration was an argument I had with my teacher, over what was poetry.
