Try again
As life strikes me down for the millionth timeand my battlescars burn
and my muscles so tired from carrying my problems
I don't move
as it kicks
The pain searing and my lungs so out of breath
I am so close to disappearing
I reach out my fingers in one last try
whispering words of strength and love
so close to my heart
Softening the pain
healing my wounds
And though life keeps beating me
I slowly gather myself and move to stand
Whispering those words to gain strength to try again
As life beats me down again
