Ozymandias

I left a window open in case you didn’t mean it

Of course, I didn’t read it

Of course, I wouldn’t be there if I did

You asked if it is over

And I said it’s not that easy

It’s never not that easy

And it’s never not my fault or meant to end this way

A world beyond the safety walls

A waste outside it all where I'm

Alone again

And it’s not that bad

It’s not that bad

I thought I had to prove that I had something of value

To sense that I had value

And until I did, I didn’t dare stand straight

With you and all the voices that said it isn’t worth it

But nothing’s ever worth it and we all just try our best not to remember that

There’s a statue in the desert saying: All things pass

I see the edges of the world beyond the ruins of my self

And I'm blessed

A world beyond the safety walls

A waste outside it all where I'm

Alone at last

And it’s not that bad

Did we grow?

Do we ever?

No one home

Leave a letter

All alone

Getting better

All alone

Getting better

I miss the ways we hurt ourselves

I miss not fearing anything

I lost control of where the pain appears

But it’s not that bad

It’s not that bad
