a lot of the time i find myself wanting to skip to the good part
of a movie
a show
a song
an hour
a minute
a moment
my life
i think i do this so often that it makes me forget about the little good parts
an extra funny joke
a really good coffee
a new song
or experience
or friend
and then i find myself wondering
if there’s ever a good part that will make me feel
wholly good
like i’ve finally made it
i hope i realize it
if i ever get there
sometimes i think
what if i’ve already made it
what if this is the good part
and that might be even scarier
