The Kick

Finally, finally, the kick that I need
And Jesus Christ, it's a kick indeed
Something to work for, a reason to be
A goal in sight, an end to see

I'd lost all hope of finding direction
Lost the life in my own reflection
Searching in vain for some correction
Hid from view with veiled deflection

Give me a reason to keep going forward
To make this fighting a little less awkward
To keep my head and get all this sorted
'Cause all attempts so far I have thwarted

Make it so I put up and shut up
Punish me for all my fuck ups
Make it right but don't make it a set up
Any success would be a step up

Finally, finally, the kick I deserved
To get back up and grow the nerve
But will I use it or will I swerve
Towards the end, oh I'm on the verge
