Permission to Fall

i know it’s hard
because you failed
again

facing failure
isn’t the most
delightful thing
in the world—
it’s terrifying

but as long as
we are here
alive
breathing
we still get a shot
to set things right

you can cry, luv

the rain doesn’t need
permission to fall
they just do
when the water droplets
are too heavy
for the clouds to carry

you’re going to be okay
you’ll keep growing
you’ll keep on learning

everything will come into passing
