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.

    I will overthink it

    And misstep

    Hit the wrong key

    Cringe

    And try again

    If I let my fingers take the reins

    I think we’d have something

    And

    I opened my window 

    and

    It smelled like summer

    and

    The cool night air

    Wasn’t cool enough

    and

    It felt like summer

    and

    That’s when it hit me

    That these days go by
