A Fight

it is not the destination
but the journey, the road, the chase
the movement it's own sensation
a fight for a life in this place

bones seemingly made of cement
weigh one down in this shallow race
small triumphs along the way spent
a fight for a life in this place

a symptom, temporary mood
keep keeping on, one must save face
youth, health, beauty, plenty of food
a fight for a life in this place

give thanks, enjoy the small things now
advice given to up the pace
take a pill to help, don't ask how
a fight for a life in this place

your chemistry will change one day
soon happiness will pain erase
until its return to raise pay
a fight for a life in this place
