Just make it through today

Nonstop noise in my brain

My rope begins to sway

Balance carefully now

My highwire starts to strain

Just make it through today

Wish to escape, somehow

Don’t look at the terrain

My rope begins to sway

I cannot keep my vow

Don’t think I can refrain

Just make it through today

I’m sorry, wish I knew how

Rocking chair underlain

My rope begins to sway

My head slumps to a bow

Now prayers said in vain:

Just make it through today
