How do you cope? How do you cope With your job Commuting at a snail's pace The pressure of the role The constant competition? How do you cope With family life The dirge of the school run Heartaches and the joy The constant worry? How do you cope With growing old Fake promises of beauty products The creaking joints The constant exhaustion? How do you cope? I don't. I'm ******* exhausted.

How do you cope?
How do you cope? How do you cope With your job Commuting at a snail's pace The pressure of the role The constant competition? How do you cope With family life The dirge of the school run Heartaches and the joy The constant worry? How do you cope With growing old Fake promises of beauty products The creaking joints The constant exhaustion? How do you cope? I don't. I'm ******* exhausted.
I think we can all relate to this somehow. We glide like swans under this exhausting facade of coping, when really we frantically paddle, hoping that we don't ripple the glossy, still water.
