I Want To Thrive
I had just a taste of the good life.
Now all I seem to have is strife.
One thing after another, problems galore;
Until just living feels like a chore.
There has to be more to life than this.
All I’m asking for is a little bliss!
Nothing but one setback after another,
Is there any way out? Oh, brother!
Just struggling to keep a roof over our head.
Every day I’m just full of dread.
Worrying about a future I can’t predict.
Feeling that life has me licked.
There was a time I was feeling blessed.
Now I feel like we’re going through a test.
They say God doesn’t give you more than you can take,
Well God, I feel I’m ready to break!
When oh when will this madness end?
I feel like I’m going round the bend.
I really don’t mean to complain,
Maybe I should just end this dreary refrain.
All I’m asking is to be allowed to be free
To be the person I know I’m meant to be.
I’m tired of struggling to survive,
I am ready to break out and THRIVE!
