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.

  • Dancing

    Two kids

    The song

    The beat

    The rhythm

    You know the rhythm, don't you?

    Pulling you up

    Pulling you to me

    Out there

    I know it's scary

    Couldn't we let go and not care

    Just for tonight?

  • Giddy

    Giddy is the exhilaration

    Thinking about you

    Getting excited

    For what, I don't know

    Counting down the days until I can see you again

    (Summer is hard)

    Reading love stories

    Listening to love songs

  • I cried

    I cried.

    I looked at the photos,

    The Polaroids,

    And I cried

    And cried

    And cried.

    I couldn't feel anything.

    My heart was bleeding

    And I couldn't feel it.

    I cried

    Emotionless
