What the Heck
6/30/17
What the heck
Is the reason for such disrespect
And neglect
Just trying to continue the trek
Without getting shipwrecked
I want to have a meaningful and positive effect
Instead of being inept
Still making moves, taking risks, with continual steps
In and out of the depths
With or without much rest
Just trying to do my best
Instead of beginning to stress
Throughout any test
Situations and work being assessed
For more or less
Whether it was simple or complex
Always cleaning up my own mess
And striving for success
Before I can no longer draw another breath
Due to my own death
Mostly made of water, bone and flesh
It wasn't always easy to express
And at times I only could guess
Might as well get it all off my chest
Never went in church to confess
Won and lost in chess
Still always felt blessed
And tried to have common sense
On either side of the fence
Whether the terrain was thin or dense
Nonetheless
This took a lot of effort, intellect
And finesse
