Start Small They Said

Start small they said
A little at a time
Don’t give up they said
You’ll be just fine

But she wasn’t fine, not as they said
She couldn’t settle, wasn’t right in the head
She danced all night, made her feel sane
She kicked up her feet, stayed in her lane

It’s the little things, that stab you the worst
A poke of the finger, a quickly thrown curse
But she wasn’t fine, not as they said
She’d turn it around, without having bled
Nothing’s so bad, you can’t turn it around
Just give it some time, you’ll be just fine

AbnormalVAverage

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
