Life's Little Epiphanies

Life is filled with little epiphanies,

Wow how the years passed.

And what a stone-faced soldier you have been, you stop for a second

and realize love abounded even in moments where you didn’t know it was there.

Little microseconds of complete assurance pay you a visit,

That it will all work out and you’re already killing it.

Yet doubt creeps back in without your consent

Control is anxiety pretending to be your friend.

Life doesn’t change with the snap of your fingers,

But it changes while you deal with the everyday battle.

One day you wake up, look at these people and think how did this happen?

A strange epiphany that all the uncertainty and confusion is part of it.

Those moments may be only a few minutes a year

But they tell a story that makes it silly to fear.

People saying their so proud,

Gee that’s nice but it means more to me to be a part of this crowd.

Cuz the sweet supportive people, they are my crown.

And I realize that every bit of progress I thought impossible

Is just another thing to cross off the list

And though I be late to many milestones

I don’t care, this is my version of bliss.

Who’s keeping track anyway?

Reputation is such a strange thing.

Little epiphanies in moments like these

Remind me I have all that I need.

Love for myself, the future,

and the process, love for my families

From work and school

Who have made my life feel pretty cool.

I know I put on the face of a clown

Even when my closet was filled with skeletons and my being clouded by darkness.

Love is something you have to struggle to harness but that’s ok.

Life’s little epiphanies remind you why you chose to wake up today.
