Tales of Dreams and Woes

Teach Me A New Way

If my mind still couldn't comprehend—
    why some things needed to happen,
    teach me a new way to think
    —so I won't try to reel on it again
    only to get dazed
    by the same things that confused me.   

If my mind still couldn't see—
    why some things needed to be lost,
    teach me a new way to look
    —so I won't try to find it again
    only to get lost
    by the same things that haunted me.
    
If my mind still couldn't understand—
    why some things needed to be broken,
    teach me a new way to feel
    —so I won't try to patch it back again
    only to bleed
    by the same things that hurt me.
