take it on the Chin

Take it on the Chin

Bottled emotions
numbed out soul
Scarred memories
Reality taking toll
Inevitable outcome
Persistence of time
I've got no reason
All I have is rhyme
Livelihood in question
Motivation worn thin
Another punch thrown
I take it on the chin
I stave off sorrow
Barely keeping it at bay
A stressful afternoon
Another hair turns grey
