For such a long time, I've been pretty sad.
Not too long ago, I was able to feel copacetic again,
But most of the time I haven't felt any better than that. Just copacetic.

But now, I'm starting to feel happy again;
I'm starting to believe that everything truly will be alright.

Nothing lasts forever.
We just push through all the crazy things,
And we emerge scarred and bruised, but we'll always heal.
We all find light eventually,
Light that doesn't have to be at the end of a tunnel.

A relationship sailed away from the harbour,
Out into the ocean.
But the ship broke down and eventually sank,
Tossing me into the cold, harsh waves to battle alone.
For a long time I was drowning,
But I finally resurfaced,
And I breathed in the fresh air
That I'd been dying to breathe for so long.

That boy is still very special to me and I'll never forget him,
But I'm moving on now.
There are other things more worthwhile.

Today, I can finally say
I'm not "not great" or "okay-ish" or copacetic;
I'm hunky-dory.
