I'm Good

I'm good
but I'm not,
all's right
but I'm shot

I try to find the words
to say what I mean
but all that comes out
looking back
sounds obscene

I'm fine
but I'm hurting
I'm trying to handle my shit
but the words won't fit

I have a hold on happiness
but it's not easily kept
and the way life's been going
I'm hoping to wake up in an icy sweat

Consequences
responsibility
you have to keep your head on straight
shai away from hate
and avoid being a reprobate

You have to be there for your mates
and sideline all the shit on your plate,
if you want to keep all that you've got
your not allowed to lose the plot.
