We’re Doing Our Best

In all these ways, we’re doing our best

With our questions, our doubts, our bids for connection

Our laughs, our tears, our shared experiences

Our walks, our chats, our snacks, our meals

Our stories, our faceplants, our pain, our joy

Our triumphs, our sorrows, our struggles, our recoveries

Our mess-ups, our slip-ups, our press-ups, our pull-ups

Our daydreams, our day jobs, our wish lists, our secrets

It’s just so hard to be alive, to be all these things and so much more

Wrapped in skin and shoved out into the world,

We’re doing our best.
