Still busy on the bridge

Despite this cheerful image, July so far has not been the best of times for me. The verse below probably says it all. No metaphors. No hidden meanings. My inspiration comes from two songs, Hurt by Johnny Cash and Cat Power’s re-imagining of Satisfaction.
 
I’m taking on
the world
and it seems
the world
is winning
 
A sensible
person
would
give up
but you know
how it is
 
So I’m trying
and I’m trying
and I’m trying
to find a way
