Florence + The Machine: Shake it out. I can relate, Florence.
When your mother loses her job, and when you lose your health insurance.
When you lose your health, and you don’t have money to give to the clinic.
When you lose your father to prison.
When you lose your lover to Chicago.
When you lose your house to a fire.
When you lose your confidence and security.
When you lose your sense of self.
When you lose your friends.
You’ll gain one really fucking long night to clean the mess of your life. And then you’ll realize that someone has set you up with the strength and community you’ll need to move on.
I’m sorry for being selfish, and I’m so grateful for those who offer their shoulders to lean on.
