LYRICS:
VI. Though I’m tired, I’m still trying.
The Shame
You wear the shame
under a hat always,
half wave hello to
someone you sort of know,
in slow motion.
Bloom Wither Bloom (for Mom)
You swear
by every dog-eared prayer
in your “My Troubles” diary,
by every beveled edge
of your chem leveled being,
with fear,
that you bear the brunt
of your grandfathers’ wage
with nary a blazing hedge
in perimeter for protection.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where.
Try keeping a family of five
warm, safe and dry
under one child-sized
umbrella, dying,
with bent up wires
and tears in the vinyl.
I’m trying.
But I’m tired.
I’m so tired.
Sirens wake you,
then silence takes you
back to sleep,
but your next dream
beware.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where.
In case your castle crumbles,
refrain from grumbling,
stride, don’t stumble.
With pride, print tickets to the rubble.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where
you are.
Be where.
I’m trying
but I’m tired.
Though I’m tired,
I’m trying.
I’m still trying
