Tested

Just when I think I’m doing better
And I’ve cleaned up all this mess
A storm comes in and crashes down
And puts me to the test

I try to balance in this space
Just letting go of mind
To balance while falling from grace
Seems impossible to find

When anger rises in your arms
And frustration in your chest
When fear threatens to cloud your heart
And take over the rest

The good news is it’s just a test
And even if you fail
Tomorrow is another day
In which you can prevail

And so I get up off the floor
And brush off all the dirt
I work to settle karma’s score
And leave behind the hurt
