My head’s a circus of mess
Thoughts pile up, I live in excess
I chase some clarity , but settle for guess
Yes, I am still a work in progress
Some days I sound confident, almost wise
Other days I trip over my own advice
I keep mistaking noise for being honest
Yes, I am still a work in progress
Work should be joy, but feels like slog
Takes me to long periods of brain fog
I keep getting trapped into spiral of stress
But yes, I am a work in progress
I build myself up with borrowed strength
Then crumble quietly at half the length
I move ahead even when it feels hopeless
Yes, I am still a work in progress
