Sometimes you can't

Sometimes you just can't.

The hardest part is accepting it,

At least for me.

Accepting that you won't be able to

Carry every load

Be every version of yourself

Always be the best

Meet every expectation.

Sometimes

I can't

Be everything.

I hate it

But it's true.

Sometimes

My brain is too fried to transpose,

Or to figure out what E# is when it technically doesn't exist,

Or to hit that final note,

Or to match my brain with my fingers.

Sometimes

I can't do all the homework

Stress

Pain

Drama

Sometimes I have no balance.

It's all work

Or all play.

One thing

At a time.

Sometimes you just can't

And that's okay.

  • The thing is

    The thing is,

    I can't get over it.

    It sticks in my memory

    unforgettable

    and I want it

    but I know it was just

    subconscious dreamland.

    It was old

  • Future fantasy

    I dreamt

    it was next year

    everyone I loved was there

    tall chairs

    light work

    not reality

    everyone

    perfect

    I woke up and I felt his love

    butterfly wings against my cheek

  • Infinity

    My dread of math -

    infinite.

    Why must it be so complicated?

    Math reasoning may be the authority on your scoring sheets

    but it's not the boss of me.

    Because there is no math reasoning.
