Universal Struggle

As I make my way through everyday with stress on my head

and bills to pay, no matter how hard I break my back It’s

not my pocket that’s getting fat.

All this work and no reward, no satisfaction for me. I

won’t sit back and be ignored and rot in frustration ‘til

it buries me. If I stand up and speak my mind, they’ll

try to sever my lifeline. Everything is covered with lies

and all they do is waste my time.

Now it’s my time to take a stand. Get life under control

before it’s out of my hands. I’ll push forward and rise

above, won’t play this game, I’ve had enough. I’ll walk

this path, these stones I’ve laid. I’m wiser now for the

mistakes I’ve made. All the stolen hopes and broken

dreams ain’t far away as they once seemed.

I’ve made this choice, I won’t turn back. I can’t lose

what I’ve never had but I’ll never know unless I try. I

didn’t build this to let it die.
