Life Games and Other Crusades
Always
Full-grown and vulnerable
This is the manner it constantly happens
The world keeps turning and turning
And you keep moving with it
Finding your footing as you go.
The pieces of yourself you didn’t know were missing
Until you found them shattered
You travel and collapse and come back up once again,
Learning from your mistakes along the way.
This is the manner it always happens
You end up where you need to be in the way
Smarter, braver, stronger than you ever thought possible.
Later, the cracks in the foundation of your life get smaller
As you find what you need along the way
Things you picked up out of necessity and then grew upon to love.
The pieces of yourself you didn’t know were missing
Until you find and adjust them
The world continues to turn, and you keep moving with it
Finding your footing as you go
