You cannot have it both ways
But some people try
To have the cake and eat it too
Like being hot
And cold
At the same time
Being arrogant
And humble
At the same time
Flipping a coin
And landing heads and tails
At the same time
Which just cannot happen
Physically impossible
By the laws of nature
Only broken down
By human nature
That defies logic
Morally
Spiritually
Physically
Doing everything
In any combination
At the same time
A state of total
Confusion
And chaos

But Rather Not Let Go
It is no doubt hard
Very hard for some people
Or most people to
Let go of their possessions
Something that they cherish
Be it a painting
A classic automobile
Rare coin
Even a house rich in memories
Special gift from someone
Bank account full of cash
Relationships
Difficult to let go
And some people refuse
To let go of all their possessions
Holding on to them for dear life
Until dear inevitable
Dear end of their time
Let go of them
With nothing
Not rather die than let go
But rather not let go
Until death do us part
To the bitter end
Very hard for some people
Or most people to
Let go of their possessions
Something that they cherish
Be it a painting
A classic automobile
Rare coin
Even a house rich in memories
Special gift from someone
Bank account full of cash
Relationships
Difficult to let go
And some people refuse
To let go of all their possessions
Holding on to them for dear life
Until dear inevitable
Dear end of their time
Let go of them
With nothing
Not rather die than let go
But rather not let go
Until death do us part
To the bitter end

The Water Is Boiling
You just cannot assume anything
When it comes to communication
Like when you tell someone
The water is boiling
That particular someone will know
The water temperature is 100 degrees
Or if you say you are thirsty
People will give you water
But generally speaking
Assumptions abound everywhere
Based on what people see
And what they hear or experience
So that if you go up the mountain
And tell someone the water is boiling
That someone may assume
The water boils at 100 degrees
When in fact on this mountain
It boils at less than 100
Quite similar to how people
Apply assumptions everywhere
In any situation regardless of
The environment
Thinking water boils at 100
Anywhere and everywhere
