Go ahead – Laugh at me – Dinka Bednjacic

Go ahead, laugh at me

and my silly perceptions.

So what, if you can’t run as fast as you used to.

Look as you used to.

Wrinkles are mirrors of wisdom. Shades of grey hair

don’t prevent emotions.It’s only a statement

of being there already.

So what, if your love walked with the children

outside the door. There is more.

That is if you can remember how to laugh again,

Believe again. Trust. Give yourself a chance.

Love is exhaust less, just like an ocean

not all of it is for the young. They misused. Abused

throw away too often. Go ahead, it’s never too late

never too soon to sit in the sun, listen to the

wonder of sounds.

Walk in the rain. Rage back at thunder and stay sane.

Solitude brings peace until walls begin to cave in.

Burden replaces memories from endless repetition.

Deposit your misfortune into a safety box and leave

it there.

For all those who follow. Give them the pleasure to

enjoy a surprise without you.

Leave the loneliness at someone else’s door

don’t turn back, walk away.

It’s never too late to find love,

having all that acquired wisdom,

and still laugh at me.
