Keeping On

Same shit, different day
just getting older
going nowhere, got no ride
feet to carry what's on my shoulder.

Too heavy to hold
but still going through
making me drag and fall
try something brand new.

But it's uncomfortable
still dragging and falling
listening hard I think
I hear a new day calling

the thunderous break
that may mean rebirth
something significant to become
taking on new meaning of worth

but as the roar gets closer
I see it's not what it appears
only another 18-wheeler going 90
just inches of me it clears.

But there I still go
trodding along, broken legs
with no crutches and this load
so hot it could fry eggs.
