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!
