Black Mood

BLACK MOOD

Tough times never last
Difficulties grows fast 
It portrays there's something you can do
Only the tough people can survive it too

Oh how hunger surfaces
Numerous wants showcases
Different thoughts encompasses
Many disappointments arises

You can decide to bend on your knees
Looking for help with your pleas
Receiving insults at increase
Not giving up on saying please

Life seems so unstable
Food can be on your table
Tomorrow your pocket may be empty
Life at times is tempting
