I'll always be a wanderer
Exploring where I really shouldn't go
Both mental and physical places
I find that I just have to know
What is really out there
How things work, and why
Even when I don't actually want answers
Even when it makes me cry
My beloved little pigeons, so simple, so pure
I think of you every waking moment, you're all that I adore
You're feathers, a pleasant grey, and I have to say, they make me love you even more
My pleasant little pigeons, I hope you get far as you soar
Ferdinand von Wright (Finnish, 1822–1906), "From the Garden: Flowers and Birds" (detail)
Sometimes, I worry that my mental health will never get better, not because I'm incapable of improving, but because being not okay has become a part of my identity. I've spent so much of my life being anxious and depressed that I'm scared of learning who I am outside of that; Even though I know my life would be far more fulfilling as I continue to get better.
I take everything showers when I can't sleep at night
I could be in there for hours, and still not feel right
And so I'll cry myself to sleep, or stay up to see the sun
Cause no matter how I scrub the dirt, it's like I've gotten off none
I'm a mess, my life's a mess, why can't I wash it away?
If I never feel clean, then there must be a better way
Can you hear the music?
