Show Up and Trust


There is darkeness in not knowing your path.
You find out the hard way, the light isn't at the end of the bottle. 
Feeling helpless, like the world is just happening.
Well it isn't, is it?

No, we allow ourselves to get behind lost in the grind,
Not knowing if this job is our future.
I can tell you it doesn't get magically fixed.
No matter how much you drink.

The rabbit hole only runs deeper.
Who's going to dig you on out? 
No its on you, to do away with the doubt.
Pick yourself up and decide that there's more.

More brightness, lightness and more happy days
All right ahead if only there was a way.
Stop blaming yourself and just do what you must.
Grow up, Glow up? How about just Show up and trust?
