390

trying to let that be my comfort

I'm just trying to roll with the punches

trying to keep my shirt on

keep my hair on

keep my pants on

keep abreast

head down

tail up

trying to keep up my end of the bargain

trying to keep my nose clean

up and at em

(if I'm able)

I'm just trying thing at a time

get it all off my chest

I think I can

I think I can

I'm trying to get the measure

roll with the punches

stay off the ropes

trying to breathe with my head between

the foot pressing down and the mat

trying for a bit of a bounce

trying not to choke on the fumes

or bile of spite

trying to get my question heard

I'm trying to shift my weight along

I'm pushing the shit uphill

just sayin

against all the odds

I'm trying to press on

everyone has days like this

if I'm lucky my last day will be so

I know there's nothing – not a thing – at the end

but the tunnel is lighted this way
