growing pains

I feel like we've helped eachother grow
to a point
but now we're stuck
and we have been for a while
and i feel like i'm ready to be unstuck
and keep growing
and you're not
you're stuck and you're too weak to pull yourself up
i'm growing and it took all my strength to get this far
and i need to preserve my strength to keep going farther
and i don't have any left to pull you up too
when you resist
you go limp
not engaging the muscles needed for the fight
limp and weak in indifference
shielding your ego
overwhelmed by what you percieve of the outside
too scared to look into yourself
and i'm sorry but it just can't be up to me to show you the way
you need to show up for yourself
like i had to show up for myself
i'm here for you, i believe in you, but i can't do it for you
you must save your own soul
and you must do it for us
if you want us to survive
growing pains are meant to be lived through, not fought off, not avoided, not cured by some outside remedy
dig deeper
fucking dig deeper.
