muck and muse
you will never be enough until you believe you are - it is
you will keep holding out for more, for better, for stronger
you keep reaching for something you set beyond your grasp
you are broken, cracked, perhaps even crazy
but no more than most people are, even if they hide it deep beneath
you are beautiful, provocative, nervous, truthful, alive
you are unusual, creative, and my favorite sing-along friend
stop hating yourself for being out of the box, for caring, for trying
quit feeling bad for feeling bad for feeling bad for feeling bad
take it in, breathe it out, shake it out, cry it out
but then leave it at that, let it all be what it will inevitably be
it isn't all peaches and cream, rose colored glasses, peace and love
it's never been and it has never been so for anyone else
we all suffer, some deeper down, some on the surface
you experience it, know it, channel it, and it fuels you
that is enough, you are enough, the "good-enough t"
allowing imperfection to create the perfect cocktail
the muck only enriches the vast capabilities you hold
get messy, let it out, cry it in, laugh in on, swim through
oh beautiful survivor, hopeful existential dreamer, true friend
i am grateful for all the gifts you have brought to my life.
