Poetry : Show up anyway

 

Show up anyway


I used to believe the trick is to be perfect

The idea is to be always calm & collected

The goal is to be very confident always

To have things sorted out, to be in control


So the journey began in pursuit of these

A long, slow and never ending journey

An unrealistic dream refusing to come true

An utopic state of mind, rarest to find


Slowly, I have begun to learn the truth

What it looks like, is not always how it is

So I advice you all to be a little messy

A little disorganized and a little unsure


Be complicated, be imperfect, be confused

Be nervous, afraid, scared and flawed

What's crucial is to show up anyway

Show up anyway, so that you can grow
