Is what it is, was what it was and other platitudes

Carved out some time, looked long and hard

Shifted my attitude

Shut off the spite, worked through the shame

Make space for gratitude

Summer’s not gone, so I’m sailing on

I’ve got no time to lose

Starting over, ever forward

Bitter trails? Been there and gone

Thresholds tested, and reordered

Un-collapsed I’m moving on

The motivation to walk that line

In an affirmation

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again

One more time. I feel fine

It’s looking better, so what’s next

This time I’m ready for ya

And I won’t get wrecked
