Emotional stairs are hard to climb
It felt like I was ascending all day long.
Or was I descending,
The ups and downs leaving me banging the doors.

I have a hard time understanding people,
Of course I’m one of them, too,
Which makes comprehension all that more difficult
And I like to think I’m a learned man.

Luckily, I was just the backstop today,
So with a tight grip on the stair rail,
I just listened to the chaos
Doing my best to not hang on too loosely.
