Hindsight; MindFight

Hindsight, I know that you are my good friend
But I don’t like the way you treat me
Always showing up late
With that ‘what did you do that for’ look
Splashed all over your face

I know I need you
I see – using you – that it is your job
To help teach me; teach everyone
About what is right and wrong
And how to change

I am just puzzled
About our relationship
You’re always there
But only after I needed you
Am I not treating you properly

Personally, I would like to keep you around
Perhaps you would stay
Or does my stubbornness keep you away
I know there’s something coming between us
Am I too hard-hearted to ask you to join me

So tell me – what do I need to do
To persuade you to stick around
Be onsite before I slip up
Then you could say – ‘don’t do that’
And I could listen

I hear you
You say – you are always here
Speaking at every moment
Never going away; just waiting to breakthrough
I am only fighting myself

If that’s true
Then why don’t I listen
Is your voice loud enough
You’re so clever
Answer that one
