We are gathered here today for  the part of me who repeats over and over “not good enough” Today is the day I burn the part that thinks it’s only worth doing if it’s perfect It’s only worth saying if it gets praise it’s only worth living if it’s achieving Today is the day this version of me dies And isn’t it beautiful Isn’t it heartbreaking The seeds I grew inside myself, some of them rotten What a gift what a tragedy Today is the funeral. Today I rise.

Today is the funeral
We are gathered here today for  the part of me who repeats over and over “not good enough” Today is the day I burn the part that thinks it’s only worth doing if it’s perfect It’s only worth saying if it gets praise it’s only worth living if it’s achieving Today is the day this version of me dies And isn’t it beautiful Isn’t it heartbreaking The seeds I grew inside myself, some of them rotten What a gift what a tragedy Today is the funeral. Today I rise.
