Long Shot

from Delayed Pursuit by Jessi Robertson

/

lyrics

I draw on my brightest smile 
and don my favorite shirt.  
Every day is Halloween 
when you’re hiding how much everything hurts. 

I’ve gotten good at dressing up,  
laughing longer, dancing harder. 
I’m never giving up,  
maybe a long shot in my damaged armor.  
Bet on me and I’ll make you into 
a believer.

I catalog the latest blows,   
the scores upon my skin.   
I’m thinking of my next disguise,   
this one’s wearing thin. 

I’ve gotten good at dressing up,  
laughing longer, dancing harder. 
I’m never giving up,  
maybe a long shot in my damaged armor.  
Bet on me and I’ll make you into 
a believer.
