I Know I Can Go On Poem by Shalom Freedman

I am happy again
I know I can go on
With my normal life of writing
I have solved nothing of course
All the big problems are with me
I am declining and will be poor
In a couple of years
But I can go on now
For today for tomorrow
For the next days and weeks
And inside I thus feel it is like forever
I am happy again
Still fooling myself
Not solving or even addressing the real problem
But I go on
As I always have gone on
And will continue to go on
Until I can't.
