Car repairs and bills too high Bring on pity parties that last too long And I know that; I wish I were Strong enough to stave them off. Most of the time I can. But I work too much And forego too often In the name of keeping things even. Even. Okay, fair. So I guess I still am that fool That thinks if I'm a good girl And fair, and moralistic And kind My life will be easier My loved ones' lives will be easier. I know I push too hard for this. Hoping beyond hope. No, insisting. I start each day with my fists clenched. Today, I will MAKE each day better. And sometimes the fight gets the best of me. I fight my own war here, my love. The world I live in fights me back. I know you had a bitch of a time in Iraq. But here, I fought just as hard, tho in a different way Please don't discount me this. I had no brotherhood, no team No band to watch my back. I fought alone for what I have And sometimes, just sometimes It gets the best of me. It takes the best of me. |
