LIFE PRESERVER
Drowning in the depths of responsibilities
This is the feeling of caregivers just like me
Providing for family, friends, and many others
Is exhausting and taxing is what you'll discover
Desiring to go undercover just to get respite
Cause many of days we can't find any of it
Hit with excrement morning, noon and night
Makes you discontent and wanting to take flight
But the might of your love keeps those gloves up
Even when you're pouring from an empty cup
Like buttercups sucking it up during stormy weather
The rain obtained during reigns will make us stronger
