Thirteen agonizing landings,
Obstacles to need,
Between me and where I need to be.
Thirteen up and thirteen down,
Time and time again.
How many times?
How many hours?
If I only had a nickel…
Find me strength to make the journey.
Find me breath for one more flight.
Blessed that I don’t make a misstep
And become a casualty.
Lord, take that blasted second floor and
Level it to closer ground
That I might lose these Devil stairs
And keep my sanity.
