growing up is ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ค
By Brooke Riley - April 27, 2022
one moment
you're in your room
dreaming of the world outside your window
dreaming of the world outside your window
the next you're living in that world
fighting to make your place
not really living anyway
in that world full of dreams
there's nothing but broken memories
and songs that you can't listen to
we try to clutch onto the things
that give us hope
but eventually, those are tainted too
what are we left with
except for the knowledge
that we're supposed to keep moving
don't stop swimming
you'll just drown
in the weight of the feelings you've ignored
expected to be perfect
and do it all
everything feels wrong
everything
always feels
wrong

This is so relatable. And beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO good, boo. I love you. I'm proud of you. You bring me such joy, and I know it feels impossible now, but...I love you and I am so very proud of you and glad to know you and have you. You are such a blessing and gift, and I don't want to imagine my world without you in it. Thank you for your enduring friendship. Everyone should have a best friend like you (but not you personally of course. You mine.)
