Keep Walking, Keep Breathing

I pass corner shop lights flicker the wind cuts deep the smell of

smoke and rain no promises I keep Kids kicking cans in the street

Laughing like they own the night and I feel my own shoes wearing thin,

tight mom always said keep your head up but her words

hit the wall like the nights I tried talking nobody heard Michael I scribbling

notebooks Ink smeared with fault Every word of battle

Every line of war I fool ye. Yeah

I stare out the window at streets I can't claim Everything moves fast
