Two situations, part one

a situation where one finds self,
with no ill will or regret,
one tries their best,
to no avail,
one things oh no this must work
for this will save on so much
it must be perfect, it will be great,
this must, somehow
forever, work
and one puts the amount of effort
that one knew not
could be summoned,
but things, they don't go ideal
and things cause more confusion or fear
water on sand and even worse
and in the end, a bit of disappointment
and much regret,
about how things could have been
if they had been different
oh and relief,
such great relief
of things that weren't to be
didn't work out as soon as they could
opening way for future prospects
good, bad or something else,
it doesn't matter
what's not to work
does not,
despite how hard parties may try
to convince all back in the day
they did, and must now too,
all their protestations aside,
things calm down, stabilize,
no fear, regret or loss is felt
and days go by smoothly,
as they always did.
No ill will,
no regret.
