The Spiel

It's getting hit so hard
You can't even fathom the thought of breathing
It's laying on your back and not being able to lift your arms up to protect yourself
It's when you see your phone ring
And don't even look at it to see who it is
It's when the money is so low
You just keep swiping the card
Until the cashier says
"I'm sorry sir, but this is the third time and it's still declined"
Further than that, it's when keeping the most basic connections
Is difficult
It's when time actually stops
And you could see yourself falling apart
And there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it
But it's the evolution from that
It's when you
Wake up in the morning feeling like
You honestly can't do enough during the day
Because there's always more to be done
And that's a good thing
It's when a breath of fresh air
Is better than any sip of anything
It's when the stupid little shit
Isn't the little shit anymore
It's the shit that matters
It's when staying busy
Turns into being busy
And being busy turns into this
It's by any means
It's all the time
It's whatever you think you can't do
Or what you think you can't handle
But you do it
And you win at it
By any means
