Persist
I stand, inhale, then step, and step, and step Though it's absurd its will is in control My hand is pale, I grip, breathe out, then yelp My words cannot consume my anguish whole.
I stand, inhale, then step, and step, and step So many blessings, friends, acceptance, smiles This damn sad tale's been told and told in depth And yet I feel alone, ashamed and vile.
I stand, inhale, then step, and step, and step Life knocks me down but stubborn I persist I feel pathetic when I ask for help But I'll be kind and let myself exist.
I stand, inhale, then step, and step, and step I hug myself, then step, and step, and step.
