"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
