we're doing the best we can with what we've got
here's to still going
i don't think im ready to talk about it
but i want you to know im okay
it's not something i ever expected
how would i even
but im trying to give it the space it needs to run through me
its running me over sometimes
i just know that it was the right decision
right, best, easiest, still wrecking-ful
its amazing how something so wonderful can so delicately be destabilized
i don't think its something that can ever truly be stable
but im here, we're here, still, and still trying
trying, trying
and when it feels like its eating me from the inside
like moments ago, and moments before that
i try to remind myself that its not okay too and thats okay
feels really shitty honestly
but that its not the end
its not the end
its just another road toward the same destination
a path hopefully less bumpy with just as pretty sights
cause its not the end
its the beginning
its the beginning
