Anyway

Never get enough sleep or enough money. The baby won't stop crying. The bills are late again. Go to work each day. God knows I'm trying. Can't grasp the concept of living. But, I'm happy anyway. Sanity's hard to keep It's not even funny. The wine bottle's always chilled. I drink in my corner. Trapped in the same hole where morality is killed. Sure sucks getting older. But, none of it bears on my soul. Can't ever make it on time Why bother trying? Cold rain sends chills down my spine, Now my mother is calling. An urge to hide away tempts, still I decline. Holding on to keep from falling But, I'm smiling anyway. Don't get along with my ex. There's no denying that life's always a struggle. Hurts staying above. Insane and dramatic Issues to juggle All the while I fell in love. And this love keeps me ecstatic, anyway.
