    Unfinished

    My brain is a pain
    And it always feels like rain
    With nothing gained
    When the answer was lain
    And supposedly plain.

    Everyone said, “Wait and see,
    Get your degree,
    And you’ll be pleased with
    Where you’re meant to be.”

    But that got fucked up quick.
    The loss was swift,
    My family’s house went tits up.
    Cause the world is sick.

    So now I have to make my own way.
    I just have to take it day by day.
    And though I feel like I accomplished nothing,
    It was the decision and intention that led to something
    Better than what I had before.
    When all I had was behind closed doors.

    I’m still fucked up, but now I’ve got
    My person and his family who likes me a lot.

    So I don’t think I’m fully where I’m meant to be,
    And prices are now rising just because,
    But it’s better than where I was.

    I saw a dog today,
    So the sky is not as gray
    And my favorite show took four years to debut
    So maybe that means that I’m still growing, too.

    • Rachel, You are definitely still growing. And just because you are not where you want to be, it doesn’t mean you won’t get there. And when you get there, you’ll probably still want more anyway. Keep pushing forward and take one day at a time. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of our family.<3 Lauren
