You think I’m behind,
but I know my mind
and what it is capable of.
I am learning more, and I am trying
to go on. I am trying.
You are learning more now
as you open your eyes without crying.
I will be here when you’re moving.
I will let you keep denying.
I will watch you as you float into thought.
I am aware, limitlessly,
that we are doing the best we can
in every fleeting moment,
and I do not hide from dying.
I have embraced the workings of my soul.
Grow with me, at your own pace,
and I will show you what I have never
had the chance to do.
We will discover every shade of blue
as we wander towards the sun
and burn with every blaze of light.
I will not let us fall behind.
