rivers

[skonen_blades]

And the fireworks turn out to be blood
And the limping isn’t faked
And the river that comes out of you is fatal
The surprise rescue doesn’t come
The third-act triumph doesn’t happen
But you are still a strong person
But you are still a good person
But you still did the right thing
Rewards are for children
Hardship is for adults
Merely surviving is the most we can hope for
Anything else is a bonus
Because every day is a challenge
You can do it
But it’s hard
You can do it
But it’s not easy
You can do it
And only you can do it
Even though community helps
Even though friends have your back
Even though fuel comes in many forms
You are the one that has to do it
And that is so hard
And if you can’t go forward, go sideways
Rivers go around rocks
And life is full of rocks
Metaphors can’t do life justice
But your struggle is noticed
And vital
No one wants you to fail
