Life Please Pull Me Up Again

There's so much stuff going on
I am being pushed far down
With no chance of my escape
My life's not taking the shape
I wanted it to be like
It packed up and took a hike
Now I'm trying to climb back
But each day brings a new whack
Knocking me down one more peg
It's costing me an arm and leg
Jut to stay in this tough spot
There's not a heck of a lot
I can do to get ahead
Every night I go to bed
Hoping for a better day
And troubles will go away
Letting me take one step forward
So my life starts heading toward
Days of dark clouds moving past
That's been putting a dark cast
Overhead to follow me
I just want to be happy
With the sun smiling so bright
Taking me on a new height
Out of this hole I fell into
So I can start to continue
Step by step  little by little
I will get a friendly cuddle
And fate will be nice to bring
A song I can finally sing

Very melancholy, but I do love a good, sad poem that tugs on the heart strings and leaves me emotional. Kudos, hun bun <3
