Discouraged
Hard to not be discouraged
When the world keeps getting in your face
Hard not to give up, give in
When you just can’t keep up the pace
More bad news
Another job lost
Just can’t keep up
With Rising costs
Not just me
It’s everyone I know
No one has answers
Or knows where to go
I want to make things simple
But my soul is too far in debt
I prayed to Jesus to help us all out
And as they say “Jesus wept”
I want to become a modern day Robin Hood
Rob the rich to give to the poor
But I’m not quite sure how to find them
Gated villages don’t allow door to door
Life isn’t fair has gone beyond cliché
Struggle seems to be the norm
Seems like even the good days
Merely disguise the ugly storm
