How am I doing?
I guess you could say
That I’m doing fine
I’m doing okay
Just tryna make it
Through another day
Though challenges often
Get in my way

Life can be a struggle
From day to day
More money more problems
Biggie used to say
But what would it be
With nothing in the way
To prevent my optimism
From being on display?

Every day above ground
Counts as a victory
When you consider
What the alternative could be
To opening your eyes
And being able to see
That life continues to be
A great mystery

Now is a good time
For me to explain
Life is comprised of
Some joy and pain
That’s how it’s been
And will always remain
So I hope these words
Aren't shared in vain
