You can’t

Hold me down

Or back

I know sometimes things will be rough

But days do come around

Especially when I stop pushing and just living

When I do the things I want to do, and it feels right

Those are the moments that make my day

And even if I don’t get much done, I appreciate the things I do get done

For it’s not a race, and if sometimes I get behind on what I want to do, it’s okay

I have time to turn it around and listen to my body is the only way I can get it all done.

Only time will tell if I can keep up with doing what’s suitable for me and not compare my life journey to others.
