Guts

As in tough, as in go
With your gut, as in go
On a hunch. Life’s a mess.

It has to be. You guess
What’s good, and you guess well,
Most times, and you go on.

At some points, you guess wrong,
And at some point, you don’t
Get to go on. It takes

Guts to get this far, guts
You got from those went
On, then got gone, long since.

Praise who you want. Some praised
Get to go on, some won’t.
Guts take guts. Praise, blame don’t.
