I’m not quite sure how to navigate and survive
Through a cancel culture other than to duck and hide.
And I’m not quite sure if that’s good enough but either way my anxiety is eating me up inside.

We all know we’ve all made mistakes
and we’ve all fallen short of perfect - it’s all fake.
I’ve said disgusting things and acted disgustingly but years later what does that all mean?
Does it mean I can’t change? I can’t grow up and learn?
How can I make a difference if I can’t be allowed to grow?

I was created for more than this and I know that I’ve moved on.
To move on is to grow and I’m still growing.
I don’t ask anything of you. I haven’t in a long time.
Just please don’t shut me down.
I promise I’ll be better.
Just give me a chance.
