Flip or Flop

if you see me sitting around
with my head tilted down
face wrinkled in a frown
hands shielding my face

just trying to figure out
if I can survive in this place
if I can finish this race

I know. I got it
change will come
and change will go

for better or worse
we won’t know 
until we’ll either
suffer through hell 
or find Heaven’s grace 

if we’re to be celebrated 
as conquering heroes
or banned in disgrace

The true story
will not be told
until those very last
words unfold
and in the end
they are rejected
or embraced
