Daily Struggles

Lord I've grown so weary since 
my life got out of hand
These trials and tribulations are 
just more than I can stand

How much longer must I wait 
for the life I choose to live
And how long must I pay you back 
for all the things I've did

Must I suffer through this life 
just a victim of the game
Most times it seems I'll leave this world 
with nothing but the pain

Although I struggle constantly 
with demons I can't shake
I pray each night before I sleep 
that tomorrow I will not wake

Lord I hope you hear my plea 
and grant my final wish
Whatever life is after death 
can't be as bad as this

I've done my best to face them all 
and take it like a man
But now I've grown too weary since 
my life got out of hand
