I Keep On Telling I Am Good

I keep on telling I am good
But it doesn’t change my sad mood
I would be happy if I could
But the world is cruel and shrewd
I put on dresses that I should 
But I feel like I am stark nude 
I am starving though there is food
But there’s no one like Robinhood
It’s God’s will I have understood
But my heart burns like a firewood
