you keep trying

You Keep Trying

by michelle bevins

Day after dayTrying to make it go away

Anything you can do to make it better

Hanging on to the things that matter

Trying hard to keep it real

Trying hard not to feel

Keep it up, flash that smile

You can make it, one more mile

This is now and it's all you get

Make it count and win the bet

All you can do now is try

And keep inmind a reason why

Something to live for, something dear

Someone you'd die for, someone to care

There's not so much in this place

Takewhat you can get and fill the space
