Persevere

Alarm kills the silence,
Before the sunrise —
I will persevere.

Cup filled with coffee,
Putting my boots on —
I will persevere.

Bus stop in the rain,
To work for the day —
I will persevere.

Got a roof overhead,
Thinking about the rent —
I will persevere.

Counting up my coins,
Got to eat, got to live —
I will persevere.

My notebook, my soul book,
Working on my words —
I will persevere.

Running out of daylight,
Running out of road.
Mirror and nightlight,
Looking in my own eyes —
This is me.

This is who I am.

I will persevere.
I will persevere.
