Hard To Tell

Am I winning at this game Or is life beating me Sometimes it's hard to tell Sometimes it's hard to see When my chips are down I try and quickly pick them up Are you ready for another round Or have you had enough Sometimes it's hard to tell If you're the monkey or the cage I have yet to figure out Am I the turkey or the baste On life's shinny lock I often fumble with the keys When you find I'm in mid-sneeze Would someone please bless me While enter and exit signs Loom everwhere I go Not sure if I should stick around Or pack my bags and hit the road Sometimes it's hard to tell If you're the noose or the rope I have yet to figure out Am I the grass or the goat If ever there was a sliver Of sun in this shade of doubt It's that in life it is hard to tell And even harder to figure out
