Whatever it takes.

When my outer life

Is out of control

I take the things within

In a tighter hold.



And fight, and defend

And cry, and hide.

I do whatever it takes to get by.



Without anybody truly

By my side

I  turn inwards

And I analyse.



Or I let the days drift by and by.

Living quiet as a mouse

On the inside.



Either way,

What I’m trying to say

Through the crudeness

Of rhyme and word play.



Is that no matter what happens

I find a way,

To get through this day.
