It's so hard
to keep on going
when life seems to laugh
or punches you in the face
Shoulders pulled down
by invisible, but real, weights
Sleep interrupted by
the nightmares of the awake

But I think
it's still okay
to be here
how hard going may be
I haven't left yet
Facing storm, after storm
always so tired
I can barely make it another day

But Life
is still appealing
I'm not going to leave
any time soon
