Depression
Depression I hate my life
I feel trapped
stuck in the rut
trapped in lifes decay
you do not need to stay that way
you do not need to stay
change
change can be hard
your life is rapt with other people
yet you can change
a little girl stuck in a boarding school
you do not need to feel trapped
Education is your key to success
embrace the future find your dream
life will not always be that boarding school
education opens doors to life
It takes just three months training
to become a personal care assistant
and gain a liveable wage
from there, it's only three years training
To become a nurse
and the world opens to you
with the skills of a nurse
you can work anywhere in the world
With the skills of a nurse
you can travel around the world
getting jobs in different countries
I'm not saying that you must become a nurse
that is only one path to success
you could become a Doctor
our Doctor takes one months holiday to travel
once every three months
I'm not saying you must become a doctor
you could become any thing you want
success comes with education
the doors to freedom are opened to you
only waiting for you to build a plan
you do not need to feel trapped in life
no matter who you are you can change
my husband won't let me work
I feel to stupid to learn
skip out the back jack
go make a new plan Stan
life is full of change
I would not stay in a relationship
of violence
I would not stay in a relationship
where I felt trapped
people are there to help you
you can change
don't allow yourself to feel stupid
education improves the mind
study more, learn more
and build yourself the road
the path to over come stupidity
is the path of building knowledge
people learn fast
people learn slow
but all people can learn
to gain a path and grow
