What it is?

New city - same game.
Solitude and drive.
Loneliness and dedication.
Like in the old city, I know I would trade these options for something better
In the blink of an eye or at the drop of a hat.
But unlike before I know where I stand.
The odds of winning the lottery are too meek to live under the impression that one day I might win.
So marching boots and a half empty apartment
In a new city with a half full sense of purpose
That's what it is.
In layman's terms
It's study, boxing bag,
Study, insurance claim,
Study, study, study.
That's my best option.
If I truly want to better myself
Than that's what it has to be
That's what it is.
