I started the journey at age 30
I wish I had started it much younger
But whats the point in regret
Whats the point in regret.

I finally got some help
And as my love and I said today
Trust the process
I can see slightly more clearly
Though the side effects I do think can be loud
I'm trying to follow my own boundaries
My own needs
My own health
But sometimes I think it all gets the better of me.

I'm still just so tired
From a big job
A big trip
A long *** tattoo appointment
And the mental exhaustion of so many voices and masked faces in my face
When we have barely all been together for a year.

This time last year I was in so much pain in Alabama
And I know thats all behind me now
I shed layers upon layers of skin
As my hair grows
As I finish my ink
As I run and lift deep
And take care of me.
