I been
knocked down –
wind out
of my sails.
Don’t know
why I
always
seem to fail.
My heart
may not
be broken
but it’s bruised.
Is it
my lot
not to win
but to lose?
I been
knocked down
but not out
I will rise again.
Give me
a second –
this ain’t
gonna be my end.
I am
tougher
than I think
even if I’m slowing.
Knocked down
not out
get up now
just get going.
