I don’t wanna cry

this is not Mariah Carey

life can get hairy

friends are lost

growth comes at a cost

money can be funny

wishes not granted

memories slanted

toward the worst

I want to be first

to let it all go

and live joyfully

Understood?

there’s more 👀👀

we’re here

who is we?

I’m still trying to find my way

still?

I thought I had it but shit happened

you still stepping right?

I’m over 40 and not the greatest

well shit, not many are. What else?

I want to know love

ok, do you love yourself?

sometimes

and?

There’s work to do I know

I’m here and I’m never leaving

no question mark needed.
