Bad weather

This is all a bit complicated. I don’t know if I can keep track. But if I were to keep track, you know I would. If we thought it would help.

There is a learning that happens on the spot as you realize there’s no more planning. As you realize there’s no more shame in just coming out the way you came.

There’s nothing that needs to happen now. You are growing and changing. Just the way it’s happening now is all that’s needed from you, baby. This is all that’s needed from you, baby.

You have ideas of right and wrong, and the idea that it’s up to you to write the song. It’s not up to you to write the song.

You have big ideas. Big burdens on your shoulders, and ideas of right wrong. But it’s not up to you to write the song.

We know it’s hard to adjust. We know it’s hard to repair trust. We know you’ve been looking for us ever since you arrived down there. We’ve had our eyes on you, and we’ve been looking out for you. There are certain realities, certain complications.

But we never lost sight of you. And we’re deep inside of you. And you are in us too. You are everything that’s true. You don’t need anything anymore, not from us or anything else.

You have what it takes to grow now. You can grow off the stakes. And we are you, and you are us, and we are growing together at the same time. You are us and we are you and you are us and we are you and we’re all in this together.

You’ve made it through the worst of the bad weather. You’ve made it through the worst of the worst.
