Me in Both Corners


Oh, bittersweet agony, meander this way
And teach me to appreciate today
Don’t give me joy to make a typical day worse
Let me treasure how well this hurts
I don’t wish to flash a smile undeserved
I’m grateful for this discontentment I’ve preserved
I have climbed every inch of that mountain of emotions
The easiest hike is the most atrocious
The incline begins with all the commotion
Solitude deserves more of my devotion
There’s nobody I resent enough to include
Regardless of the altitude
I don’t want to smile, and I refuse to cry
I’m certainly not quite ready to die
Not even seeking a reason why
Six feet under me is where my worries lie
So it’s blow for blow in this fight with myself
I’ll take my licks and attack full of rage
For their chosen sides, the crowd cheers and yells
Until someone taps out, I’m not leaving this cage
