On A Dime (Spins not Turns)...

If i last the day,
     what will have gone away
and what will remain,
     as ever?
if i make the day,
     what will that make go away
and what will remain,
     as ever?
If i survive the day,
     what will i have won anyway,
another day for more of the same?
     and the shame is i try,
Lord know, i try
     but sometimes the world
and the people within
     gets the better of me
and i'm hurled to where i don't want to be
     sometimes, i just have to cry on my knees
at the misunderstanding
     because i have never been a planner
i'm the needy child trying so hard to please
     who never pleases anyone,
least of all,
      himself,
as ever...
