I would tell you what my problem is but I know what you would say.
"It is what it is."
Yes...I know.
"Everything happens for a reason"
Does it now?
"There are worse things in life"
Yes, there certainly are.
"God works in mysterious ways"
Doesn't He?
"That's just the way things are"
Do tell.
Maybe I am, "Just being too sensitive."
Perhaps I should, "Trust the process."
I shouldn't, "Rock the boat," after all.
You know, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," right!?
Besides, "Who ever told me life was fair?"
True.
I will not argue.
Is there anything I forgot?
Do you have something meaningful to say?
Yes, I took the words out of your mouth didn't I?
The truth is I will not tell you my problem because you are not worthy to hear it.
It is an honor to hear the sorrows of a friend.
It is a privilege to be on the inside of a loved ones thoughts.
It is a trust you are not worthy of. What's that? Oh, I see. "God has a plan."
Well thank you. I thought He was just, "Winging it."
By now, "The clock has struck twelve."
It's just that time.
