how do any of us ride out this life?

there’s so much we could do
so much we do
so much i’ve done
but i constantly feel like
i’ve missed the boat on
so many things
everything

i don’t know how to get everything out of life
that i want to get out of it
so i’m just kinda
enjoying the ride at this point
admitting this isn’t how i thought it would go
but my adventures have been so
adventurous
and i do
love that

[maybe that is how you live life]

something in my heart
beats a little faster
a little stronger–
the birds outside
remind me
of springtime
full of possibilities
(but also of pressure)–
and i don’t have the right words
or awareness to convey
the emotions i’m feeling today
so let’s just say
birthdays
are always a mixed bag
i just want to see into it
before reaching in
(but that
is not
how
life
works)
