One Day At a Time
I’m still alive
Though not intact
I strive and strive
To stay on track
I try, I fail
I try again
I need to heal
It never ends
The coarse was set
With little wind
My sails a net
It’s hard to win
LIke a tattoo
One stain at a time
What I’ve accrued
Is pain in my prime
I work what I got
With smiles and grins
I want to give up
But fight giving in
So on I’ll go
One day at a time
I’ll go on to
Life’s finish line
