I've told myself too much: I'm never far along before it's time for giving up. But I can face my fears for now; I've learned enough from losing in my time to be at peace with where I am, not where I'm going. It's safe to say I wouldn't be prepared.
I'll find my way. And if I have to, I'll curl up and fall asleep. It's my right to be exhausted, whether or not I'm on my feet. There's only so many different places I can be, but I only ever wanted one.
"Not here" was the answer that I got from all the people that I needed when I wasn't close enough. They grew roots, but they're leaving all the time. It's all they ever talk about, but there's no excuse to run. And I've got sweat and fatigue etched in the rings around my knees. But getting older doesn't mean I'm done.
