We all need a place, where we can be less perfect
Bottle our insecurities, and let it out in private
Dine with our doubts and pick bones with faith
It can be a person, it can be a place
It can be something we'll never do again.
It could be healing, it could be coping
It could be something to help you keep moving
Life is a lesson, and people are blankets
Life is transient, and memories are strength
Life is transient, and memories are strength.
Like a plastic bag I kept some messy things
On the outside, it was fine
But inside was less pleasant
Messy, not dirty, but serving a purpose
To keep my environment clean
And help arrange my thoughts as I cleaned:
Resented the baggage, but it grew on me
And I came to realize its usefulness
We all need a place we can be less perfect
To figure out our weaknesses or find our strengths—
It's okay if we're lonely along the way
Or weak by ourselves when we can't find help
Life is a lesson and people are blankets,
Life is transient and memories are strength,
Life is transient and memories are strength,
Life is transient and memories are strength...

I had the concept on my first few days at the Orientation Camp. Was only able to develop this today. About three weeks after.
