Down But Not Out
I have rebuilt myself before
Because life often pulls me down.
I get gradually unhinged
I end up scattered on the ground.
I have rebuilt myself before
Well enough to carry on
Only to find
Never firm against everything.
Never resilient as I'd need,
But life has taught me many things,
So rather than be afraid
That this world might leave me battered,
Or this world might leave me...
