Hesitative Affirmations

Everything is going to be fine,
Even while that’s unrealistic.

I can say ‘no’,
To the right things;
Which is to say,
To the wrong things.

When I stop making sense,
I start trusting myself;
That I’m still making sense.

Nothing will be affected,
If I stop trying,
To be either,
A good, or,
A big,
Boy.

I am fully going to make it,
Part of the way right now,
Then later, I’ll make it further,
Without returning to the beginning,
Until finally, after several times,
Which will accumulate,
I will reach… it.
Then I’ll rest.
