This Is

This is not perfection
This is not an exception
This is not all we'll ever be
This is not all we'll ever see
This is mistakes
This is retakes
This is not the easy part
This is only where we start
This is to learn how
This is only for now
This is not an important decision
This is not to be decided with comlete precision
This is to woner how and where
This is to suffer the utmost despair
This is short-lived
This is giving all we can give
This is where we are today
This is saying what we want to say
This is saying it, if I must
This is our life, and this is us
