Prepping for another Day
Kathryn Martinez 1979 (Torrance CA)
I wake up with a stale tear
From my sleepless tired eyes
Hoping that the end is near
For the sorrow in my life
Forcing myself to get up
With motivation long time ceased
Praying for a change of luck
As the day proceeds
Telling myself that I'm tough
I've been through worse before
This pain I've had more than enough
And I don’t need anymore
Plugging up another pierce
From my bleeding heart
Persuading myself to be fierce
So I don’t fall apart
Now I'm ready to face the day
Just about all prepped
“LORD, please walk with me”, I pray
Because there’s not much of me left.
