I'm Nowhere Near Where I Want To Be

I'm nowhere near where I want to be

But I'm also no longer where I used to be

I'm no longer a mess,

lost in my own mind,

hurting and tripping over the shattered pieces of my heart

-

I'm not yet where I want to be,

But I came a long way from where I used to be

well, you know what? i'm gonna be gentle to myself. whether or not i accomplish things. whether i'm at my one hundred or at my ten percent. whether i'm angry, happy, stressed, anxious or insecure. even when i don't have all the answers or all the hope. even when the world demands more and more of what i can no longer give. even when i disappoint people. even, even, even.
