you keep trying

You Keep Trying
by michelle bevins
Day after dayTrying to make it go away
Anything you can do to make it better
Hanging on to the things that matter

Trying hard to keep it real
Trying hard not to feel
Keep it up, flash that smile
You can make it, one more mile

This is now and it's all you get
Make it count and win the bet
All you can do now is tryAnd keep in
mind a reason why

Something to live for, something dear
Someone you'd die for, someone to care
There's not so much in this placeTake
what you can get and fill the space
