Grind

Life can seem like a grind
moving forward with or without you
can't stop or slow it down
it's a force you have to bow to

I had a good holiday
much better than last year
nothing too spectacular
just anxious for a new year

But drama's part of life
and life just comes at you
sometimes with you
and sometimes against you

Doesn't matter how old I am
I'm still caught off guard
one thing is changing tho
my reaction when it hits hard

Seems the hardest hits come
from the least expected places
last year it was family
this year friendly faces

Chip on my shoulder
has worn its self thin
I think it's gone
then it rears again

Ready to defend
doesn't matter who
then I remember
I really don't have to

I am who I am
I will move on
if the world doesn't like that
then they can jog on
