"Surviving"

Surviving, striving for achievement,

and yet, it often seems that I'm

no longer deriving any pleasure from

this so-called "life" of mine.

I am patiently

enduring day after

excruciating day.

There must surely be another

way? I am awaiting something

so much better.

I'm surviving. I am striving

for improvement - still.

Fool that I am.
