the truth is

The truth is

I’ve misplaced happy

There’s some static on my line with God

I desperately want joy so I’ll keep going through the fog until it’s real

The truth is

I’m changing

And I’m so in tune with that I can almost feel my soul bursting at its own seams

And change is most excellent

The truth is

I’m envious

But happier for other people more than I have ever been in my life

I want happiness but not the same as yours

The truth is

I know how I fail

Even more

How I will succeed

The truth is

I’ve found me

And I won’t let me go

No matter if other people do

No matter what

The truth is

I’m grateful for this life

Where I will see firsts

And where I will see lasts

The truth is

I’m here

Living fiercely

I tell you the truth

So trust me when I say

I love.
