S.S.D.Y.

 S.S.D.Y.
That's 
Same Shit, Different Year...
Sure,
The country
Has radically changed 
With the
Changing up of a President...
Took out some trash...
But,
On the personal front,
It's back to
Survival...
Work, sleep,
Work, sleep,
Etc.
Throw in a little therapy
And work on
Personal growth...
Pay bills,
Pay bills,
Pay bills,
Work, sleep...
Watch some t.v.
Etc.
Don't worry...
I have hope...
I'm not sinking too far into depression...
Just a little heartbreak...
Just another divorce...
Here I go again
On my own...
Living an 80's power ballad...
All hair bands
And bare chests...
In the videos, anyway...
You kind of 
Get used to it after awhile,
Heartbreak...
Takes a little work
Accepting your faults
And separating them
From theirs...
Takes a little work
Hanging on to the belief
That you still deserve love...
I know that I do,
I'm just saying...
The work
Is hard work...
What's me?
What's them?
Who were "we" together?
Who are we apart?
Yeah,
It still hurts a little
(A lot)
To think about her...
And at times
I have lashed out in anger...
Verbally...
What are you supposed to do
When it feels like
Your heart is getting torn out
Of your chest
And there's nothing you can do
To stop it...
That was then...
Recent then,
But then none-the-less...
And it's not the first time...
The pumps been shredded
Innumerable times...
It keeps beating...
It keeps setting itself up
For more precious abuse...
I gotta get a handle
On these cycles,
These seasons...
Sun, moon, 
Sun, moon, 
Etc.
Love, loss,
Love, loss,
Love, loss,
Etc.
