Some Days

I've been pushing harder than I should.
Trying to be everything, trying to be good.
Chasing every mark I think I need.
Running on a love I didn't feed.
Some days I forget to catch my breath.
Chasing perfect 'til there's nothing left.
But maybe trying is enough somehow.
Maybe I don't have to prove it now.
Some days are harder.
Some days I fall.
Some days I'm trying, that's not failing at all.
I don't need perfect.
Just need to be true. My best looks different.
And that'll do.
I keep comparing my pace to yours.
Running a race with no finish lines or doors.
Some days I show up barely holding
on. Some days I'm strong before the dawn.
But every single day I give what I've got.
Even on the days it's not a lot.
I'm learning how to let it be.
Honest effort's enough for me.
Some days are harder.
Some days I fall.
Some days I'm trying, that's not failing at all.
I don't need perfect.
Just need to be true.
My best looks different. And that'll do.
I don't have to rush to prove my worth.
I don't have to carry all this hurt.
Breathe it out, let the pressure go.
Enough today is enough, I know.
Some days are harder.
Some days I fall.
Some days I'm trying, that's not failing at all.
I don't need perfect.
Just need to be true. My best looks different.
And that'll do.
