Lazy River

And you cried

You cried for yourself and for the death of a future you so badly wanted to nurture

You cried over conversations that will never happen, for a hand you will never hold again

You drowned yourself in the tears, hoping to just fall silent and float to the top

Still. And lifeless.

But calm.

This was the worst day of your life.

And it wasn’t your first. And it won’t be your last.

But every single time you tell yourself that it’s the end,

You still wake up the next day.

Just remember, even at the worst

You can still walk on water
