My fingers tingle, my tears run my face
I'm tired, hungry, and lost sense of grace
My sleep is sleepless, filled with rants and fears
But I'm to keep a brave face and say cheers
My world is adjacent to theirs you see
So they can't understand that side of me
I function in a way that makes no sense
And yet somehow I do it all, and hence
I have no safety net, it's a free fall
Between the kicks and blows I do it all
But I won't let the scars and bruises show
I simply nod my head and take a bow
No matter what they throw my way , I stand
I won't falter, nor need a helping hand
