Try Try Again...
Five dollars in my pocket
When I needed ten
Recipe calls for 3 eggs
I have a dozen
A month past
Expiration
Rent is 5 days late
But a smile you will find
Firmly planted on my face
I may not have everything
But I have more than I deserve
I am not a super model
Nor Picasso or Poe
I write what I feel
And Paint what I see
Far from perfection
With either
But I try
And I will keep trying
With each day
Comes knowledge
And gained wisdom
From all the years
Of living life
Without knowing
Love
Today
I am in a better place
Broke indeed
But not busted
No longer shattered
Whole once again
To try
And to continue each day
As success
Is my destiny
Because
I found love
Inside me
