Look at me

I’m standing here, but I barely hold it together.

And I know that’s not okay, and I’m struggling, but I won’t give up. I will get this done, and I will be successful.

I am struggling to be present in a life that is so much a rollercoaster, and I keep wanting to get off.

But then something good comes along, and I keep hoping this isn’t just a one-time thing.

Sometimes, it’s not, but other times, it feels like others see my blessing coming my way, but I am in my way.

I also want to jump to the side, but that feels unclear, and I don’t know if I’m ready.

So here I stand, trying to hold on and let go simultaneously.

I know I will lose a battle soon, and I am trying to let go so that I can grow and smile again.
