Blood sweat and tears <br />Hard work and pain <br />Long days and long nights <br />Long walks in the rain <br />Nothing is new <br />Nothing has changed <br />I'm still me <br />Everything’s the same <br />Things may be different <br />But it don't feel that way <br />Because I still can't find the courage <br />To stand up and say <br />The thoughts that are running <br />Around in my head <br />The things that I'm feeling <br />From my joys to my dread <br />Everything is different <br />But everything’s the same <br />I'm still a screw up <br />That will never change <br />I'm still coward <br />I'm still a fool <br />But I am going to work <br />And I am going to pray <br />To give myself a fighting chance <br />Because I know that somehow someday <br />I won't be able to say that I screwed up <br />It won't cut it <br />It just won't be enough <br />It'll cost me it all <br />Once again <br />It would cost me it all <br />And I'd be here again<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blood-sweat-and-tears-5/
