“Accidentally”

I love it that sometimes things can go completely wrong all of the time.

Contrary to popular belief...I have not been writing anything on this blog for anyone in particular unless I have specifically indicated it or you happen to know something I don't...which is possible, I'm not that smart.

-I love you all very much...and for those of you who know what 'especially you' really means...then, especially you.

“Accidentally”

(2005)

By: Jason Marshall

I could have been great.

I could have done anything

With my life and my time here;

I could have been unstoppable.

I could have been found,

Instead of just being lost.

Simply waiting around.

I could have had purpose.

I could have been everywhere

Or anywhere that I decided to be,

But most of the time I was nowhere.

I could have been somewhere.

I could have been smarter.

I could have done more,

When I didn’t do nearly enough.

I could have been brilliant.

I could have done many great things with my life.

Things that I didn’t do; things that I decided against.

My fate was set in stone that seemed as soft as sand;

The destiny that was before me changed with every glance.

I could have done good but accidentally I did better.

Accidentally, I flew when I should have been simply running.

Accidentally, I gained the knowledge of things before my time.

Accidentally, I felt music when everyone else was just hearing it.

Accidentally, I knew of love more true when others couldn’t see it.

Accidentally, I believed in the world when everyone else was skeptical.

Accidentally, I discovered myself before anybody knew who they weren’t.

Accidentally, I listened to others instead of telling my own story.

Accidentally, love found me when I never should have deserved it.

And accidentally, I found it all over again.

I could have been great; even unstoppable.

It’s just a good thing that accidents happen

Because accidentally I have more

Than I ever could have dreamt for.

 Incidentally, I am not writing this by any accident.

Actually, this is designed to be exactly what it is

Not for self-reflection or gratification; it’s for you.

It just happens to be accidentally defining precisely

How unmistakably, completely significant that all of my

“Happy mistakes” were actually accidentally on purpose.
