Coping not

Am sorry I try to cope 

I try to undo all my u wellness

Try to live with my illness 

Try to walk in the right path 

Try to reach my hand out 

I try to grew 

But for one reason or other I just don't measure up 

Is my time slipping away 

Is this life just not meant for me 

Or should I just go for one more 

One more time to climb in the ring with my old friends 

Hey into one last argument with myself 

Try to find a way out 

I dunno all these words that just spilled out 

But what great advice have you got for me??
