Small Embers Left Behind
For if we do not focus the lens
Of which we view life right now
Will remain out of focus
I don't want to feel like I have to fix something about myself
I don't want to go through life feeling like I'm hiding
I don't want to apologize for who I am
I don't want to conform to somebody else's
Idea of what I should look like
I'm not interested in doing any of those things
I hope I can translate the things I'm feeling right now
Into being more present to all the people that I cross paths with
For so much of the last few years, I've been sprinting
I've been so incredibly focused
On figuring out who I am and building this
That without meaning to I think I've sometimes closed myself off
From the vulnerabilities and messiness
Of relationships with other people
This isn't something that I've explicitly chosen
It's just a recurring pattern that I've noticed
Something that feels like it's happening by itself, by inertia
I've been focused on sorting myself out
Starting from birth we seemingly run, if not sprint through life
Racing out of every moment
Unsatisfied with what life is
And constantly looking to the future to what life could be
If we just obtained something more or different
Of which we view life right now
Will remain out of focus
I don't want to feel like I have to fix something about myself
I don't want to go through life feeling like I'm hiding
I don't want to apologize for who I am
I don't want to conform to somebody else's
Idea of what I should look like
I'm not interested in doing any of those things
I hope I can translate the things I'm feeling right now
Into being more present to all the people that I cross paths with
For so much of the last few years, I've been sprinting
I've been so incredibly focused
On figuring out who I am and building this
That without meaning to I think I've sometimes closed myself off
From the vulnerabilities and messiness
Of relationships with other people
This isn't something that I've explicitly chosen
It's just a recurring pattern that I've noticed
Something that feels like it's happening by itself, by inertia
I've been focused on sorting myself out
Starting from birth we seemingly run, if not sprint through life
Racing out of every moment
Unsatisfied with what life is
And constantly looking to the future to what life could be
If we just obtained something more or different
