Who I were or should've been no longer matter
I've long since lost sense of character, of the past
It's a piece of reality that drifts away from me
And I've finally decided to stop reaching for it, to let go
I will continue to remake myself, as many times as it takes
Consistency isn't as important as growth, as permanence
What is important it to be here, to remain, to reinvent myself from what's left of me
What is important is that I still want to be kind
That I still want, with all my soul, to be gentle, compassionate, fair
What is important is that I still want to be better
I'm no longer looking for who I used to be
Nor am I desperate over all I should be, should've been, still
I'm finding solace in what's here, in what remains
And I will move forward with all my hurt, and try to be better
Despite it, and because of it
And I'll be okay
I trust that I'll be okay
That things will get better
And so will I
