Living

Freedom from the pain inside
Hiding feelings left to stew
Seeping through my daily life
Seemingly the tightest glue
But yellowing in time.

Passing time with glasses on
Rosey posey as they say
Steel pants and shirts I don
To face yet one more sullen day
Finding an ounce of strength

Day is done and one more gone
Happy to have that behind
But theres more I have learned
To myself I must remind
Surviving another day.
