what one can and cannot do

you can’t mend
all the fences
put out
all the fires
feed all the hungry
in this world
you can only walk
the road you find
yourself on
by choice or design
or happenstance
and try not to hurt
anyone if possible
while reconciling yourself
to being misunderstood
more often
than not
