There are things you can’t control in life 

Some things you can’t define 

They may hit you head-on suddenly 

Or sneak up from behind 

They can change your path completely 

Wear you down til you’re worn thin

Bring out the best and worst in you 

Causing your head – and heart – to spin 

You need to trust the flow – the process 

Trust that things will turn out fine 

Whether you dip your toe or dive in

Things will always fall in line

And the truth is, you can’t fight it

Or you shouldn’t, even when

It all makes you lost and lonely 

Wishing you could start again

Because you can’t start fresh completely 

You can’t simply disappear 

But you should honour your authentic self

Despite your pride, your shame, your fear 

Throw out your expectations 

Don’t just cling to what you crave 

Trust the process and your instincts 

And remember to be brave 

For if you act with good intention 

Maintain your hope, give up control 

You’ll get where you are meant to be 

And once there, you will feel whole
