lyrics
Is this a challenge? Is this a test, This empty table in this empty nest? And I can't count the ones I lost, Couldn't count on them to say
"Get up, get up, get up, get up! This is madness. You don't deserve this heavy sadness. It gets better, it gets better." So future me
I'm writing this down to remember that every dying ember of a day is worth the wait. Some things bear repeating: Don't stop moving, Just keep breathing. It's not impossible. Nothing is forever.
The water's rising on my horizon, over my teeth and above my eyes and I never learned to swim.
Pushing up past the surface I look for safety cause I think it's worth it. Make it easier for future me.
I'm writing this down to remember that every dying ember of a day is worth the wait. Some things bear repeating: Don't stop moving, Just keep breathing. It's not impossible. Nothing is forever.
When this is over and I read it back I'll underline the parts we didn't grasp The little pieces that made me whole
We have the pen And we have words Arranging nouns and replacing verbs Autobiographies say, "Get up, get up, get up, get up!"
