Paid My Dues

I should relax, Instead, I'm stressed. I got the blues, I'm depressed. It is like there are Chains on me. The lessons of life Don't come free. I find it hard to believe The things I'm seeing. I've lost hope, Need to start believing. I have lots of places To go. It's hard for me, I move slow. Can't catch a break, I spoke Can't laugh This is no joke. I keep searching for Some peace. Bad energy I need To release. It's hard to be Strong. Everything feels Wrong. I refuse to be thrown Off track. New mindset, I'm coming back. I'm battered, beaten And bruised. You could say, I paid my dues. Turbo1904 ?
