In distraction to hide that life isn’t always great.
I am facing the truth even when denial feels so much safer.
Knowing this is only temporary doesn’t make it feel better.
My decisions matter, and yet my mistakes seem to stand out more.
How can I judge when the grass isn’t greener on my side either?
One day our stories will change, and we will grow from life, but right now, it feels like a different path.
But the past is still present, and the present is still held back by doubt and uncertainties.
Only time will tell of the tale will change at all.
