This my life, try and try again,

Find my way, smooth or bumpy,

People might get close, then some fall away, sad to see them go,

Try to get it right, fits and starts, forward then back, back again,

A grinder, but not a perfectionist,

Easy not my way, more emotional sometimes than I’d like, inside, stuck, then set free,

Through it all,

Invictus maneō — “I remain unvanquished.”

Success means keep going, keep going, until the day, until the hour you are called home.
