This project ultimately took longer than expected, but I hope the final product reflects the passion, dedication, and hard work I put into it. I wanted to deliver something very relatable yet meaningful, and I'm sure we've all been there before. So I hope you find that the song I made to go with it to complement the poem in a way that makes up for the extended timeline it took for me to post this. Shoutout to @Botanokinesis_Girl for hosting such a magnificent contest!
