I carry the memory of you
like a seashell in my pocket;
when I get too confident,
too comfortable,
too complacent in myself,
I pull you out,
hold you to my ear
and let you remind me
how unworthy I've always been.

I was really thrown by the end. You did a great job with setting up the atmosphere and then hitting us with that.

I really feel this. :heart: It's awful when we let past failures dictate how we speak to ourselves in the present.
