I Struggle With the Magic (Originally Untitled) – Written April 2005 (Aged 30)

I Struggle With the Magic

these days
i struggle with the magic
it may seem tragic
but you,
i just cannot seem to do a thing right
everything seems crazy
i just try to hold tight
and let my eyes smile
these days
i just take a while
i struggle with magic
but i have learned to smile

no two days are the same
please, do not underestimate me
but please take the reigns
i realise now,
that love does not hide the truth
paper over the cracks
or sow the seams
i am a poor reflection
of your dreams
i would like to think,
that i have given everything i had
but i struggle with the magic
and that is so sad
