Keep

I keep hoping

That somehow it’ll all work out

That I’ll find a way to feel something

Other than this crushing weight

I keep trying

To dig out of this grave I’ve built

Surrounded by the dirt and dark

Nothing wants to come inside

I keep fighting

To bring the light into the world

To be the voice for someone else

That I wish to hear in my own ears

I keep falling

And where before I rose again

I can’t seem to find my feet

Maybe it’s not worth it now

But I’ll keep going

Because there’s nothing else for me

But to be the man I am

And someday maybe I’ll learn why
