Best Poems Written by Neil Butler

Wretched

You work so hard
You work all day
You work till you cry and all you can say
Is that you left your job in a state of dismay 
And that is your life right now

You wake up to a day that is cold and is dark
And you look forward to a life that is long and is stark
And all you wish is for fun and a lark
But this is your life right now, this is you life right now

So leave all your worries to the dark of the morn
And rise up to the challenge that is shown by the dawn
And breath in the world that you have since you were born
Because this is this your life right now, this is your life right now

When you have challenged yourself and can hold your head high
When you believe you have tried, and not just got by
When you can be proud you have worked and your sweat has turned dry
Then you can rest your head right now, rest your head right now.
