Not If I Can ******* Help It

"The only constant is change." -Heraclitus

 

I think I subconsciously needed a little constant

When the world was making me nauseous like the teacup ride at Disney

I needed a little something to remind me

Hey, you've made it this far by yourself, be strong, keep going

 

That's probably why I haven't taken off this ******* ring in three years

Probably why I often find myself staring at it

Or twisting it around my finger when I'm nervous

 

This tiny little citrine stone, my own personal constant

A symbol of my obstinance

"The only constant is change"

But not if I can ******* help it
