Resolving Sores

I've had so many knock knocks
My life feels like a joke
Speedbumps then roadblocks
Drown in tears I choke
Down, I'm nearly broke.

The molten iron burns, show I slipped so low
A golden sunburn, those blisters on my toe
When the dumps look high like mountains rising
Then I slump, fook that hike no point trying
I can't face life, I don't stop crying.

I'm looking up from the bottom of a barrel
And moving like a broken wheelbarrow
I stutter and start then flutter apart
Relapse in a heap and begin to weep
Collapse from no sleep becoming weak.

 But it helps to know, if something really needs resolving
  Them doors don't close nothing, they merely lead revolving.
