Staying

Dark place rescues
From lines thrown
By friends

Another day to breath
When you would be fine
If the sun set meant the end

Trudging along from task to task
Punch the clock
Your work done at long last

All your heart wants to do
Is hit the road and say bye
You are sensitive enough to cry
Committed enough to try
To pull with effort the value
In passing interactions
While feeling the distraction

Of life not going your way
Wanting to go
But knowing you got to stay
