Keep

Living under a tree, on the corner of lonely and used

Isolation checks upon my sleeping

Wondering how I’m going to live through another living nightmare

Rejection, my closest friend

I’ve gained everything my empty hands carry

Another failed interview, I keep on trying

Another stop sign, I keep on moving

Another failed test, I keep on studying

Another bump in the road, life never stops moving

I can do without everything the verbal trauma has done for me

How can you heal something you cannot physically hide?

Everyday I’m telling my heart another fake alibi

Submitting to torn hope rejects a sewn future

It seems like I’m running to be still

Even though I haven’t found what I’m looking for, I keep on searching

I won’t stay since life goes on

Will you carry me when I cannot carry on?

Will you lose what you have so I can keep what I had?
