"reach for the stars!"
i'm certain you've heard that one before.
and sure, it makes a catchy quote but
have you ever really reached for the stars?
outstretched arms, on your tippy toes, and
your forehead creased with determination.
your eyes locked on them as they tease;
playfully winking and blinking back at you.
and you swear they seem just out reach...
but that is a cruel, desperate and futile illusion.
don't reach for the stars because your best
will never be enough for them, and plus-
they're dead anyway.
but you? you are alive.

i believe you should strive towards your goals but setting unreachable standards for yourself is exhausting.
don't torture yourself with impossible goals
because your best IS good enough.
don't beat yourself up over dead stars,
because you're alive, you deserve more
and you are enough.
don't torture yourself with impossible goals
because your best IS good enough.
don't beat yourself up over dead stars,
because you're alive, you deserve more
and you are enough.
